Figure 5 Metal coordination to vkIX-AA. Coordination bonds are shown in blue and waters are shown as red spheres. (a) The two Tl atoms (magenta) coordinated to vkIX-AA. (b) Detail of one of the two Tl+ sites. Tl+ coordinates to N7 of A7, O2 and N3 of C4, O4 of U3 and three water molecule O atoms. (c) The two Ba atoms (magenta) coordinated to vkIX-AA. (d) Detail of one of the two Ba^2+ sites. Ba^2+ coordinates to O6 of G8, O4 of U3, O6 of G2 and six water molecule O atoms.
