Figure 1. Crystal structure of the complex. a, Ribbon representation of the T. thermophilus GluRS tRNA^Glu complex structure. The Rossmann-fold (1), connective-peptide (2), stem-contact (3), and two anticodon-binding (4 and 5) domains31 are green, deep blue, light blue, red, and purple, respectively. The tRNA molecule is highlighted in gold, except that the anticodon region is shown in cyan. b, The anticodon bases within the tRNA^Glu anticodon loop (the backbone is gold and the bases are cyan) and the GluRS domains 4 and 5. c, The anticodon loop of tRNA^Gln (the backbone is gold and the bases are cyan) in the GlnRS complex15. The figures were produced using the MOLSCRIPT32 and RASTER3D^33 programs.
