Analysis of nucleic acid double helix geometry
| Title | | SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF A COMPLEX OF THE THIRD DNA BINDING DOMAIN OF HUMAN HMG-I(Y) BOUND TO DNA DODECAMER CONTAINING THE PRDII SITE OF THE INTERFERON-BETA PROMOTER, NMR, 35 STRUCTURES |
| PDB code | | 2EZG (PDB summary) |
| NDB code | | 2EZG (NDB atlas) |
| Duplex length | | 12 base pairs |
| Protein | | HMG-I(Y), Transcription factor, DNA binding domain: HMG-I(Y) |
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.

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.

Inter base pair parameters
The six inter base pair parameters (rise, shift,
slide, twist, roll, tilt) describe the
translational and rotational displacement between neighbouring base
pairs. See Help for further explanations.
