The | The <scene name='56/567269/Ku70_dimer/4'>β-barrel</scene> is the main source of interactions of the <scene name='56/567269/Ku_heterodimer/3'>Ku heterodimer</scene> itself and <scene name='56/567269/Bound_dna/3'>DNA helix</scene>, with each <scene name='56/567269/Ku70_dimer/4'>β-barrel</scene> being composed of seven β strands with the majority in antiparallel arrangement. The quantity of the strands lends the structures to be symmetrical. Both <scene name='56/567269/Ku70_dimer/4'>β-barrels</scene> in the dimer form the base of the cradle by fitting in the grooves of <scene name='56/567269/Bound_dna/3'>DNA</scene>. | ||
