Figure 2
Comparison of the orientations of riboA molecules in the ac plane of each crystal phase, AUC (left), TUC1 (middle) and BUC (right), and their respective crystal packing interfaces. The lattice plane can be described as columns of riboA molecules, each of which has an associated direction (+ or −) based on the way the molecules are facing. Red + and – highlight the change in orientation of the columns in the BUC phase, relative to AUC/TUC1. |
