The following structures cannot be described by one of the models adopted for the description of the helical axis, like the superhelical structures 1aoi, 1eqz, 1f66 and 1id3, or have goodness-of-fit values larger than 2. The latter duplexes can nevertheless roughly be classified as double-kink structures. This Table includes the most strongly bent structures currently known: 1aoi, 1ihf, 5crx, 4crx.
