In molecular biology the protein domain Adenosine deaminase z-alpha domain refers to an evolutionary conserved protein domain. This family consists of the N-terminus and thus the z-alpha domain of double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (ADAR) an RNA-editing enzyme. The z-alpha domain is a Z-DNA binding domain and binding of this region to B-DNA has been shown to be disfavoured by steric hindrance.
