Considerable effort went into designing a sequence specific DNA binding protein using Cys2His2 zinc finger domains. While the DNA binding properties of these have been studied extensively, the structural basis for this interaction has only recently been identified.
Model Description
This 3D printed protein model of Zinc Fingers Wrapped Around DNA visualizes the interactions of 3 zinc fingers (blues) with DNA (red yellow). Biologic model 3D printed in full-color.
Created from PDB ID: 1MEY
