Integration host factor and DNA. Molecular model of integration host factor (IHF, centre) bound to a molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, outer semicircle). IHF is a protein that binds to a specific sequence in the DNA and inserts its arms between nucleotides, creating a larger bend in the double helix. This stabilises the DNA molecule during certain processes, including recombination, replication and transcription.
