HNMMC refinement of a deformed tRNA. (A) The DOF of a tRNA. Each helical stem (red, blue, green, and yellow) of a tRNA is defined as a natural move (indicated in each box), which can translate and rotate independently, with each red dot as a center of rotation and translation. Two flexible unpaired loops are colored gray. (B) The starting tRNA model with 8.72-Å C4′ RMSD to the target structure fitted in the target map. (C) The refined model with the lowest total energy (Etotal) has a C4′ RMSD of 1.37 Å to the target structure. Each helical stem of the tRNA model is colored red, blue, green, and yellow, respectively, based on the DOF defined in A. The transparent density is Gaussian-blurred from the target structure to 5-Å resolution.
