A comparison of the orientations of α-helices bound in the major groove, taking examples from four DNA-binding proteins: the 434 repressor (Shimon & Harrison, 1993[link]), the engrailed homeodomain (Kissinger et al., 1990[link]), the trp repressor (Otwinowski et al., 1988a[link],b[link]) and the Zif268 zinc finger (Pavletich & Pabo, 1991[link]). The DNA backbone is shown as a brown ribbon, whereas the protein helix is shown as a blue ribbon.
