Repair protein and DNA. Molecular model of the Ku heterodimer (grey,blue and purple) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid,orange and green) as part of the repair process. The Ku protein (a heterodimer) consists of two subunits,Ku70 and Ku80. It forms a ring to surround the DNA strand,and a cradle to stabilise it. The shape fits the grooves of DNA,helping to bring together the ends of a broken strand,allowing repair to take place at the site of the break | |
