Figure 2.
Figure 2. DNA parameters. (a) Minor groove widths were averaged for the 10 -- 11 base-pairs between indi- vidual protein -- DNA contact points, and are plotted against the superhelix location. Values for X-NCP, NCP-PA1, NCP-PA2, and NCP-PA3 are plotted against SHLs in black, blue, green, and magenta, respectively. The location of polyamides in each structure is indicated by blue, green, and magenta boxes, respectively. Data points for SHLs at which stretching occurs are circled; the equivalent regions in the long half are indicated by broken-line circles. (b) DNA twist angles, averaged as in (a). The position of stretch sites is indicated as in (a). A vertical line indicates the location of the dyad axis (SHL 0).
