Comments:
PDB structure 1SRU is from Savvides et al (2004).


A discussion of the dynamic nature and flexibility modulation of SSB in a "fuzzy" protein-DNA complex is found in Fuxreiter et al (2011).


Kozlov et al (2010) describe the final nine residues of the C-terminal tail (aa M170-F178) as highly acidic and important for multiple protein-protein interactions, many of which are involved in DNA maintenance. Further, the disordered C-terminal tail inhibits ssDNA binding, possibly by intra-protein interaction with the ssDNA binding sites.
