MD snapshot of tel-J* (surface rendering) showing a zoom view of the -D-glucopyranosyl ring, focusing on the orientation of the glucoside within the major groove. The nucleotides J and J-1 are colored gray with the exception of the DNA-backbone phosphorus atoms of the J and J-1 nucleotides, which are orange, and the phosphoryl oxygen atoms, which are red. O-glycoside oxygen atoms (red), carbon atoms (yellow), hydrogen atoms (white). Hydrogen bonds are shown as dotted lines. |
