CP-2156 Life In The Universe
Figure 3. A schematic diagram showing
two side views of yeast tRNAPhe. The
ribosephosphate backbone is depicted as a coiled tube, and the
numbers refer to nucleotide residues in the sequence. Shading is
different in different parts of the molecules, with residues 8 and 9
in black. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between bases are shown as
crossrungs. Tertiary interactions between bases are shown as solid
black rungs, which indicate either one, two, or three hydrogen bonds
between them (as described in text). Those bases not involved in
hydrogen bonding to other bases are shown as shortened rods attached
to the coiled backbone.
