Z-DNA
A conformation of DNA existing as a left-handed double helix (the phosphate-sugar
backbone forms a left-handed zig-zag course), which may play a role in
gene regulation.
Zinc fingers
A protein motif formed by the interaction of repeated cysteine and histidine
residues with a zinc ion. The spacing of the repeats results in finger
like arrangements of the protein loops formed from the interaction which
interact with DNA. These motifs are typically found in transcription factors.
