A butterfly flutters by

Article Abstract:

A dimer of the p50 subunit of NF-kappa-B has been identified theoretically by Gourishankar Gosh of Yale University, New Haven, CT. The NF-kappa-B is a butterfly that attaches to the DNA by enclosing the DNA. The dimer, which is a Rel-homology region (RHR), consists of two domains that are linked flexibly and are identical to the immunoglobulin.
