摘要
A recurrent theme in molecular biology is 'action at a distance' along DNA. Why can some regulatory DNA sequences (enhancers) work at a great distance from the target of regulation? As one possible solution to this question we shall consider an allosteric mechanism of enhancer action focused on eukaryotic transcriptional enhancers.
