| - | (iii) Conformational analysis of guanine quadruplexes (for example PDB entry <scene name='77/777977/Cv/8'>1jpq</scene>) demonstrates the universality of the most frequent B conformer, BB00, which builds the tetrad cores of these folded DNA in combination with more exotic conformers which have a base in syn orientation (NtC BB1S or BBS1). | + | (iii) Conformational analysis of guanine quadruplexes (for example PDB entry <scene name='77/777977/Cv/8'>1jpq</scene>; [[1jpq]]) demonstrates the universality of the most frequent B conformer, BB00, which builds the tetrad cores of these folded DNA in combination with more exotic conformers which have a base in syn orientation (NtC BB1S or BBS1). |
(iv) A Holliday junction (for example PDB entry <scene name='77/777977/Cv/12'>1dcw</scene>) is a DNA intermediate in homologous recombination. It contains four double-stranded DNA arms joined together by short links. The stems of the junctions are usually B-DNA duplexes with very few, if any, B-A and A-B conformers. The NtC class that can be associated with the junction proper is the recurrently occurring unstacked NS04. | (iv) A Holliday junction (for example PDB entry <scene name='77/777977/Cv/12'>1dcw</scene>) is a DNA intermediate in homologous recombination.
