Read a book. If you can't find a book then ask the all knowing Google. From: CCP4 bulletin board [mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK] On Behalf Of Rajesh kumar Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2012 10:07 AM To: CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: [ccp4bb] zinc fingre
Dear All, I am trying to crystallize a protein, so far I got no diffraction though I have large crystals. It has few cystines and a histidine near by at N-terminal. I dont have much literature on biochemistry of this protein available in pubmed (5 papers only). Is there a way if I could check using bioinformatic tools if my protein has Zinc finger or zinc finger-like motif? If so, is it possible assume it would bind some sort of DNA and could I check that as well? I appreciate any suggestions to this BROAD question and some references would be helpful. I thought its OK to ask for help here though its nothing to do with CCP4, but eventually I want to get there. I appreciate your time. Thanks, Rajesh
