<scene name='92/925552/5_monomers/4'>RecA</scene> is one of the many proteins that is involved in recombination cross-over events and during recombination repair in response to single strand DNA breaks. RecA is a rather small monomer protein that can multiplex with itself up to thousands of RecA proteins to associate with ssDNA. The structure of RecA was determined through x-ray crystallography and each monomer contains very distinct structural components. These <scene name='92/925552/Reca_domains/4'>components</scene> are a largely helical 30-residue N-terminal region, a 240-residue α/ß ATPase core, and a 64-residue C-terminal
