Home > Zinc finger

 
A zinc finger is part of a protein that can bind to DNA. Zinc finger domains typically consist of two β sheets, each carrying a cysteine residue, and an α helix carrying two histidine residues. The cysteine and histidine residues bind a zinc atom.

Many transcription factors (such as Zif268 ), regulatory proteins, and other proteins that interact with DNA, all contain zinc fingers.

These proteins possess amino acid sequences that combine with a zinc ion. They typically interact with the major and minor grooves along the double helix of DNA.

ZincZinc is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. Notable characteristics Zinc is a moderately reactive metal that will combine with oxygen and other non-metals, and will react with dilute acids to release hydroZinc, ArkansasZinc is a town located in Boone County, Arkansas.

Zinc sulfateZinc sulfate ( Zn SO) is a clear, crystalline, water soluble chemical compound. The hydrated form, ZnSO·7HO, is historically known as "white vitriol".

It occurs as white hexagonal crystals or a white powder commonly known as zinc white . It remains white when exposed to hydrogen sulfideZinciteZincite is the mineral form of zinc oxide ( Zn O). In nature its crystal form is rare, with the exception of Franklin, New Jersey, an area also known for its fluorescent minerals. It has a hexagonal crystal structure and color that depends on impurities.
