Zα Domain of ADAR1 Binds to an A-Form-like Nucleic Acid Duplex with Low Micromolar Affinity.

The left-handed Z-conformation of nucleic acids can be adopted by both DNA and RNA when bound by Zα domains found within a variety of viral and innate immune response proteins. While Z-form adoption is preferred by certain sequences, such as the commonly studied (CpG)
