The Leucine Zipper is a protein structural motif consisting of two alpha helices coiled around each other. The crystal structure shown here (PDB ID:2ZTA) is a small part of a much larger protein from yeast called GCN4.

The two <scene name='59/596443/Backbone_overview/1'>backbones</scene> together make a left handed superhelix. The amino acids between the two helices are <scene name='59/596443/Nonpolar/1'>nonpolar (valine, leucine, and isoleucine)</scene>, and the many <scene name='59/596443/Leucines_ball_and_stick/1'>leucines</scene> obviously give the name for this protein motif.
