Biology
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A zinc finger is also known as zinc-binding repeats or ZnF that are molecular scaffold which is characterized by the coordination of Zn²⁺ ions so it can stabilize the fold.

The zinc fingers consist of several amino acid sequence 2 histidine and 2 cysteine residues at intervals. These residues bind to the zinc atom covalently and form finger-like motifs.

They are a major family of eukaryotic transcription factors. These are identified in a significant regulatory state such as developmental control genes and proto-oncogene by binding to the DNA, RNA, or protein.

aliya0001 [1]
When the body moves the muscles supplies the effort or input force. An effort force is a force that is used to move objects over a distance. It is the force that is used to get work done. The output force is the results of the input force or what one has accomplished. The force that moves the bones comes from the muscles. The energy that the muscles use to produce the force and move it through a distance comes from the food one eats.
