In summary, our results demonstrate that drRecO binds to ssDNA sequentially using its two binding sites, which gives drRecO the ability to displace drSSB from ssDNA even though the binding affinity of drRecO for ssDNA is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of drSSB.
It is amazing that cells are capable of performing actions like this and the researchers were able to show this through their results. I would usually assume that a molecule would need a stronger binding affinity to displace another bound protein, so it was interesting to learn how DrRecO can accomplish this with a much lower binding affinity.
