Evaluating scenes representing the same structureEvaluating scenes representing the same structure

This sandbox compiles several student-generated scenes that illustrate properties of the Gal4 repressor.

DimerDimer

The protein binds as a to a symmetrical 17-base-pair sequence.


DomainsDomains

There is a compact (residues 8-40), an (41-49), and an (50-64).



Metal bindingMetal binding

A small, Zn(2+)-containing domain recognizes a conserved CCG triplet at each end of the site through direct contacts with the major groove. The metal binding domain contains that coordinate to the metal as shown as cadmium.


DNA/protein interactionDNA/protein interaction

 with all of the base pairs within 5 angstroms of the protein highlighted illustrates that the protein interacts with both strands of the UAS.
