Popis: The two zinc fingers of the DNA binding domain of the human retinoic acid receptor-β were labelled with 113 Cd. Two- and three-dimensional heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments show that the first eight conserved cysteine residues coordinate the two zinc ions tetrahedrally. The ninth conserved cysteine is not involved in metal coordination. In each finger one cysteine exhibits a heteronuclear 113 Cd- 1 H coupling constant substantially smaller than those of the other metal binding cysteines.
