sequence-specific DNA binding, bending

Term ID

GO:0044374

Synonyms

DNA bending involving sequence-specific DNA binding

Definition

The activity of binding selectively and non-covalently to DNA in a sequence-specific manner and distorting the original structure of DNA, typically a straight helix, into a bend, or increasing the bend if the original structure was intrinsically bent due to its sequence.
