I am researching integrase, a protein used by viruses to insert their DNA into 
that of an infected cell.  An article I found said, "The integrase protein 
contains three domains: an N-terminal HH-CC zinc finger domain believed to be 
partially responsible for multimerization..."  I need to understand this term 
in order to finish my summer work (I could not find it defined anywhere on the 
web).
