Figure 4. — The H. sapiens mitochondrial A site in the ‘off’ state. (a) Secondary structure and stereoview. (b–h) Atomic details of each base pair of the A site. Three universally conserved adenine residues, A1492, A1557 and A1558 (A1408, A1492 and A1493 in bacterial numbering), are colored in orange, blue and red, respectively. Two nucleotides different from those in the bacterial A site, A1555 and C1556 (A1490 and C1491 in bacterial numbering), are colored in cyan and green, respectively. The hydrogen bonds are represented by black dashed lines.
