III Integration Host Factor (IHF)-DNA interaction...............................67
3.1 Introduction............... 67
3.1.1 Integration host factor (IHF) ............... 67

3.1.4 Background of IHF/H' interaction dynamics ............... 73
3.1.5 Binding site recognition versus protein diffusional search............... 78
3.2 Results............... 80
3.2.1 DNA bending kinetics in the IHF - H' complex are biphasic............... 80
3.2.2 The slow phase occurs on the same time scale as spontaneous bp
opening at a kink site. ............... 82
3.2.3 Introducing mismatches at the site of the kinks affects the slow
phase but not the fast phase. ............... 843.2.4 DNA bending rates in the slow phase of IHF- TT8AT
complex reflect enhanced base-pair opening rates in mismatched DNA............... 90
3.2.5 DNA modifications away from the kink sites have no effect
on either of the two rates. ............... 92

3.3 Discussion............... 112
3.4 Concluding Remarks............... 117
IV LESION RECOGNITION BY XERODERMA PIGMENTOSUM C (XPC)PROTEIN..................................................................124
