Thermolysin conjugates four calcium ions and an ion of this element.
Thermolysin conjugates four calcium ions and an ion of this element. TIMPs inhibit proteins that coordinate this element called matrix metallo-proteinases. The Really Interesting New Gene domain binds to two ions of this element. As in TALENs, Fok-one restriction enzymes are fused with proteins binding to this element to perform genome editing. This element coordinates with three imidazole (ih- mih-DA-zohl) rings in the active site of carbonic anhydrase. A class of proteins binding this element includes fold groups called treble clef and gag knuckle. It is bound by cysteine and histidine (HISS-tuh- deen) residues in proteins that grab onto substrates like DNA in namesake "finger" domains. For 10 points, name this element with atomic symbol Zn.
