DNA bending by MTase and R1 complexes. Histograms of the distributions of bend angles. Distributions are truncated at 0°, as the direction of bending cannot be determined. Black lines represent fits to truncated Gaussian distributions defined by the average angle α, width σ and an arbitrary normalization factor: (a) DNA α = 0°, σ = 65° ± 1° (mean ± standard error), (b) Mtase + DNA α = 49° ± 3, σ = 86° ± 9°, (c) R1-complex + DNA α = 51° ± 3°, σ = 80° ± 7° and (d) R1-complex + DNA in the presence of ATPγS α = 40° ± 3°, σ = 75° ± 9°.
