Table 1.

Interstem angles from previous single-bend measurements

Element Interstem angle, degrees
Ref.
Mg2+ (2 mM) No Mg2+
E[tRNAPhe] 70  ±  4 154  ±  5 17
A5 bulge 106  ±  3 105  ±  3 19

Interstem angles subtend the axes of the helices flanking the bend element; they are thus supplements to the previously reported bend angles. For E[tRNAPhe], the angle subtends the extended acceptor and anticodon stems.
