Kinked elongated constructs of cUUCGg apical loop. (A) The alignment of the studied motif (green) is modulated by the kinked elongated strategy: helical parts (blue), bulge (orange). The constructs are labeled C0 to C6. (B) Sauson-Flamsteed projection maps depicting the order tensor frame (S zz, S yy, S xx) relative to a frame of reference in which the helix axis of the upper helix is aligned parallel to the molecular z direction. Also shown is the asymmetry of alignment (η = |Syy-Sxx|/ Szz) and ρ values which represents the scalar product of the alignment tensor for a given construct with that of C0 (see Methods).
