Binding energies are given relative to the energy of the DNA−bound WT p53 complex at 300 K. Residues 119, 120, 248 and 277 from p53 contributed the most to temperature-induced changes in binding energy. At least eight DNA residues involved in close contacts with the protein contributed significantly to binding.
