Abstract:
A system comprisingan isolated nucleic acid having a length of at least 5 base pairs and having a nucleotide sequence that comprises a first protein binding site and a second protein binding site, where said first and second protein binding sites specifically bind the same nucleic acid binding protein, and where said first and second protein binding sites are spaced in proximity to each other such that: when said first protein binding site is specifically bound by the nucleic acid binding protein, said second binding site cannot be bound by a second molecule of the protein that otherwise specifically recognizes and binds said second binding site; and when said second binding site is specifically bound by the nucleic acid binding protein, said first binding site cannot be bound by a second molecule of the protein that otherwise specifically recognizes and binds said first binding site; and the nucleic acid binding protein that specifically binds said first protein binding site or said second protein binding site.
