The yellow residues are a parallel base pair (compared to the normal anti parallel) between <B><FONT COLOR="#aaaa00">G15</FONT></B> of the <B>D-loop</B> and <B><FONT COLOR="#aaaa00">C48</FONT></B> of the <B>variable loop</B>. This brings the <B>D-loop</B> and <B>variable loop</B> together. Note the sharp turn in the backbone between <B><FONT COLOR="#aaaa00">C48</FONT></B> and <B><FONT COLOR="#aaaa00">C49</FONT></B> caused by the parallel pair. | ||
The green residues are a reverse Hoogsteen pair between <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">U8</FONT></B> and <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">A14</FONT></B>. This pairing is important for positioning of the <B>D stem</B> relative to the stacked <B>T</B> and <B>acceptor</B> stems. | The green residues are a reverse Hoogsteen pair between <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">U8</FONT></B> and <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">A14</FONT></B>.
