Loop9 has undergone a large conformational change: helix-α3 now terminates after four turns and the resulting elongated conformation of loop9 forms a finger-like extension that reaches towards the nucleotide pocket and the new helical turn in loop11.
The catalytic cycle leading to nucleotide insertion comprises several steps including a large structural rearrangement in the form of a movement of the finger domain towards the thumb domain, i.e. the transition from the open to the closed form.
Stability, for me, came in the form of a ring on my finger and a "real family" that included a man by my side.
Their name derives from the atom of zinc that holds two loops of protein together to form a "finger".
Counting on the fingers shows an understanding of basic arithmetic, and a form of finger calculation led to the development of the abacus.
Place the washed potato onto a slicing board and slice in the form of long finger fries as normally done.
One is in the shape of a brick-backed boot, with a puffy ceramic smoke plume emerging from its top; another takes the form of a mailed, gauntleted hand, one finger pointing to the sky.
A form of "finger weaving," as in net making, was used by Maori women in creating textiles from flax fibres.
The plant homeodomain (PHD) form of zinc finger is highly conserved amongst ING family members (He et al, 2005).
