Loose binding of Ba2+ ions. (a) Poorly occupied binding sites for barium cations in the subtype-A DIS duplex. The anomalous difference map contoured at 4.5 σ above mean level is shown in green. (b) Ba2+ binding sites in the subtype-B DIS duplex. Three poorly occupied sites (depicted as Ba2a, Ba2b and Ba2c) lie in the major groove, whereas the Ba1 site is stronger and better localized in an internal bulge region. The anomalous difference map contoured at 6.0 σ above mean level is shown in green.
