Zinc-Binding Cysteines: Diverse Functions and Structural Motifs

Cysteine residues are known to perform essential functions within proteins, including binding to various metal ions. In particular, cysteine residues can display high affinity toward zinc ions (Zn(2+)), and these resulting Zn(2+)-cysteine complexes are critical mediators of protein structure, cataly...
