Figure 3.
Figure 3. The four-strong Mg2+-binding sites in yeast tRNA^Phe. (a) Mg2+-binding site 1, (b) Mg2+-binding site 2, (c) Mg2+-binding site 3, (d) Mg2+-binding site 4. For each site, a stereo representation with combined, sigmaa-weighted |2F[o] - F[c]| electron density map contoured at 1.0 s is shown on the left; on the right, the same binding sites are shown colour-coded according to temperature factors. Conventions are as described in legend to Figure 2. Direct bonds ( slant 2.1 Å) involving Mg2+ ions are shown as continuous black lines, with the exception of the longer range contacts made by Mg2+ 1 (a), which are depicted as broken black lines. The bases of nucleotides G18 and G19 have been omitted for clarity from (c).
