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 Leucine Zipper is a protein structural motif consisting of two alpha helices coiled around each other.
