Change in loop E conformation. (A) Loop E enters the DNA major groove in the native complex (blue), but in the C/D dimer of the Se–Met complex (red) it packs away from the DNA. Black spheres mark the position of Arg 213. (B) View of C/D dimer looking down the DNA axis. In the native complex (blue), loop E's bracket the DNA and help to hold it in place, while in the Se–Met complex (red) the loops are positioned away from the DNA.
