Any geneticists out there?

[sir_captain]

I've been studying way too much today and my brain has just stopped working.

I'm looking at a picture of some protein structural motifs like leucine zippers and helix-alpha-helix dimers, and I can see that their basic domains are the ones interacting with the DNA strand, and I know that's obviously right, but I can't come up with why and it's irritating the hell out of me.

Can anyone help before my brain dies for the night?

1. Um, I think I could spell genetics in a pinch, that's about it, but here's

a :kick:

2. Hehe...thanks

I'm sure I'll think of it tomorrow

Ah, wait, I'm a moron. Wow. I can't believe I just thought of it and that I'm so thick as to not have it occur to me until just now.

3. All right, congratulations. Those momentary lapses come at the strangest

times.

4. Nope. Sorry. But in the immortal words of Dr Malcolm,

Life will out.

5. Co-dependency situation?

DNA enables a lot of bonding. Course, it could also be a sort of split-personality--a to be or not to be Shakespeare kind of thing. For rational answer to the question "why?", check study guide/syllabus, for clues.
