Zinc fingers are structures, located on the DNA binding domain of intracellular receptors, that mark the specific region of the domain which complements a particular region of DNA[1]. Each finger is composed of a zinc atom linked to four cysteine residues and located within the two zinc fingers of the binding domain is the P-box which is a complementary sequence, enabling the receptor to bind to DNA at the specific region[2].
