Examples of 'zinc finger' in a sentence

Meaning of "zinc finger"

zinc finger: In biology and genetics, a zinc finger is a small protein structural motif that is important for binding to specific DNA sequences. Zinc fingers play a crucial role in gene regulation and can be engineered for various biotechnological applications
Show more definitions
  • A structure characterized by the coordination of one or more zinc ions, found in some proteins, that typically binds to specific sequences of DNA and regulates genes.
