Fig. 2. Stereo view of the least-squares superposition of type I (black) and type II (red) helices viewed perpendicular to the helix axis and into the major groove of the internal loop. The bulged nucleotides A21 and U25 protrude from the helix. The helical axes are bent by 17° for type I and 8° for type II duplexes.
