A more general discussion of structural origins of binding specificity in protein-DNA recognition has been published along with a suggestion for a new '''classification of protein-DNA readout modes''' that goes beyond the historical description of direct and indirect readout<ref name="annualreview">Rohs R, Jin X, West SM, Joshi R, Honig B, Mann RS. Origins of specificity in protein-DNA recognition. Annu Rev Biochem. 2010;79:233-69.</ref>.<br/>
