Analysis of nucleic acid double helix geometry

Title CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE T(-28) ADENOVIRUS MAJOR LATE PROMOTER TATA BOX VARIANT BOUND TO WILD-TYPE TBP (ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA TBP ISOFORM 2). TATA ELEMENT RECOGNITION BY THE TATA BOX-BINDING PROTEIN HAS BEEN CONSERVED THROUGHOUT EVOLUTION.
PDB code 1QN8   (PDB summary)
NDB code PD0158 (NDB atlas)
Duplex length 14 base pairs
Protein TBP, Transcription factor, DNA binding domain: TATA box binding protein

Only the nucleic acid double helix part of the structure is analysed here. Small ligands, proteins, and overhanging ends are not taken into account. Information on the complete structure is available at the Image Library Entry page and at the Sequence, Chains, Units page.

Strand 1    5' G201 C202 T203 A204 T205 T206 A207 A208 A209 G210 G211 G212 C213 A214 3'
Strand 2    3' C228 G227 A226 T225 A224 A223 T222 T221 T220 C219 C218 C217 G216 T215 5'

Warning
  1 base(s) in syn conformation detected.
  Helix parameters and curvilinear axis from CURVES are meaningless (see Help).

Figure 1   Three orthogonal views of the double helix (Help). Residues are colored according to the nucleotide type (Help: Color codes). The curvilinear helical axis (green) was calculated with CURVES. The double helix is oriented with respect to the principle axis of inertia of the curvilinear helical axis (see Help for further explanations). This drawing reveals immediately if there is any bending of the helical axis.
