Be careful with the < and > signs. You may include any references to papers as in: the use of JSmol in Proteopedia [1] or to the article describing Jmol [2] to the rescue.

Structure

facilitates dimerization of Purα monomers. The association of two repeat III domains forms what is termed the "intermolecular domain".

Function

, Y57 (repeat I) and F145 (repeat II) have been implicated in the DNA unwinding activity of PurA.[3]
