maya dna protein dna-binding - DNA-Binding Protein by MichaelTaylor3D

This is the hydrophobic structure of a DNA Binding protein. It has been procedurally shaded for a nice organic look. Its ready right out of the box to incorporate into any scientific visualization.

DNA-binding proteins are proteins that are composed of DNA-binding domains and thus have a specific or general affinity for either single or double stranded DNA. Sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins generally interact with the major groove of B-DNA, because it exposes more functional groups that identify a base pair. However there are some known minor groove DNA-binding ligands such as Netropsin,Distamycin, Hoechst 33258, Pentamidine and others.
