The Leucine Zipper of GCN4, as expected, operates under a specific pH. It has been shown that at lower pH values the zipper will reversibly protenate and open up, losing its hydrophobic stability. Researchers are looking into this opening and closing reaction as a form of nano-tweezers. <ref name="ph"/>
