Choose correct statements about recognition mechanism of TBP ;

A. TBP causes the minor groove to be widened to an almost flat conformation

B. It also bends the DNA by an angle of ~120o

C. The interaction between TBP and DNA involves maximum number of hydrogen bonds between the protein and the edges of the base.
