An explicit computational model of structural adaptation and computation of the quasiharmonic entropy of association were obtained from the MD. The results indicate that, with respect to canonical B-form DNA, the extreme bending of the DNA in the complex with CAP is ∼60% protein-induced and 40% intrinsic to the...
