Answer / ramanuj
dsDNA shows major and minor grooves all along its spiral
structure. Major grooves are more accessible to different
outside molecules that interacts with DNA. Or one can say
major grooves are more open for the interaction. That's the
reason why proteins usually bind to the major grooves of
DNA.
