Transcription regulators will form hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions with DNA.

The DNA-binding motifs of transcription regulators usually bind in the major groove of the DNA helix.

The binding of transcription regulators generally does not disrupt the hydrogen bonds that hold the double helix together.
