Best Answer

A protein that has a helix-turn-heloix domain can bind to DNA because one of the helices interacts with the sugar phosphate backbone of a DNA strand while the other helix binds to the base bairs in the major groove. The section of the helix-turn-helix motif that binds inside the major groove is called the "recognition sequence"
