Zinc fingers bound to a DNA strand

Zinc fingers bound to a DNA strand, molecular model. The double helix of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, red and yellow) is seen here with two Zif268 proteins (blue and green). A zinc finger is a type of DNA-binding domain. It is found in a wide range of DNA-binding regulatory proteins. Zinc fingers are so named for their resemblance to fingers projecting from the protein. They afford the protein a purchase on the DNA by projecting a precise arrangement of side chains into the helical DNA molecule. Each Zif268 protein has three fingers
