Figure 7 The superpositioning (Jones et al., 1991[Jones, T. A., Zou, J. Y., Cowan, S. W. & Kjeldgaard, M. (1991). Acta Cryst. A47, 110-119.]) of the observed pseudo-hexadecamer model (containing the anti A7) onto a theoretical intact hexadecamer containing bridging phosphate groups. (a) The navy-blue stick model (Kraulis, 1991[Kraulis, P. J. (1991). J. Appl. Cryst. 24, 946-950.]) depicts the observed pseudo-hexadecamer. The gold stick model represents the intact hexadecamer model, with the bridging phosphate groups emphasized in red. (b) A stereodiagram (Merritt & Bacon, 1997[Merritt, E. A. & Bacon, D. J. (1997). Methods Enzymol. 277, 505-524.]) close-up of the region where the phosphate group would most likely occur in an intact hexadecamer. The color schemes shown are identical to that in (a). Clearly shown are the two chain termini in the navy-blue model (the observed structure), the contiguous chain represented by the intact gold model containing the red phosphate group and the close agreement between the two.
