aThe reported cation–π/H-bond stair motif interactions of the protein residue (column 2) with the corresponding DNA bases (column 4) are given in bold face. The additional interactions detected by the present study are given in normal font. The other cation–π/H-bond stair motif interactions which belong to the same protein but do not form clusters are indicated as ‘isolated’ and are given in bold, italics.

bThe conservation information obtained from HOMSTRAD (26). The extent of conservation is given as superscript. t, totally conserved (>99% of list from the alignment); h, highly conserved(>90%); p, partially conserved(50–90%); m, conserved mutation; and dashes, non-conserved.

cδASAavg is the average loss of accessible surface area (Å2) upon complexation with DNA, averaged over all residues in a given cluster.

dNucleic acid base, the residue number, chain identifier (in parenthesis).

eSingle member family(26).

fMultispecific family of zinc fingers.
