Comprehensive Bending Classification of Nucleic Acid Double Helix Structures
Bending classification of helical axis - Single-kink lineTable 4a:
Structures with an automatically assigned single-kink helical axis that are in fact, however, in almost all cases double-kink structures.
Sigma2
of a single-kink line is significantly smaller (> 0.2) than
for the next best model(s).
All structures of this Table
have 12 or less base pairs. Therefore, fitting a double-kink helical
axis is not possible. Visual inspection shows that
almost all of these structures have in fact a double-kink helical axis
even though, especially for small kink angles, a non-ambigious manual
classification is impossible.
The structures are listed by kink angle alpha (a).
