Due to the fact that nucleic acids carry genetic information and that proteins regulate various life processes, they are considered to be two of the most important biomolecules in any living organism. In addition, their interactions play a crucial role in most biological processes, which include everything from replication,transcription and recombination to enzymatic eventsusing nucleic acids as substrates. Taking all of these things into consideration, it is not surprising why protein-nucleic acids interactions have been the subject of intensive research for the past few years.
