Study your basic genetics!

Someone needs to go back and study their basic genetics. The CCAAT motif describes nucleotide residues in DNA to which the C/EBP proteins bind. The 4 nucleotides that comprise DNA are cytidine (C), adenosine (A), thymidine (T), and guanosine (G). An editor of the article had defined the CCAAT motif as "cysteine-cysteine-adenine-adenine-threonine". While the adenine parts were half-correct, cysteine and threonine are amino acids, not DNA bases. I made the appropriate changes. Eganio 00:19, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
