Abstract
The invention provides nonnaturally occurring dimerizing peptides, and methods for their production. Such peptides are useful to mediate association of linked functional proteins domains. In particular, such peptides are useful for mediating association of complexes of multiple zinc finger proteins thereby affording greater specificity and/or affinity in binding of the zinc finger proteins to proximately spaced target segments.
