This is tRNA-Phe, structure determined by S.-H. Kim, PDB ID 6TNA. This
is the classic L shape characteristic of all tRNAs. Note the coaxial
stacking of the acceptor stem and the TYC stem,
and of the anticodon stem and the D stem. Tertiary structure is held
together by non-Watson Crick base pairs and specifically bound Mg++
ions. The chain is colored in a gradient from 5' (blue) to 3' (red or greenish depending on color space artifacts).
Small Jmol window..
Here are the scripts that
lie beind the buttons, so you can see the syntax to use to make
your own versions.
- Initial view
- Connectivity
- Triple pair
- Role of Mg++
- Spacefill
- Default view is done with in-line commands.: jmolButton("select
all; wireframe 50; spacefill 50; color cpk; cartoons off; rockets off;
backbone off; monitors off; trace off","Default rendering");
