The green residues are a reverse Hoogsteen pair between <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">U8</FONT></B>and <B><FONT COLOR="#00bf00">A14</FONT></B>. This pairing is important for positioning of the <B>D stem</B> relative to the stacked <B>T</B> and <B>acceptor</B> stems.</P>

The cyan residues are a base triple in which <B><FONT COLOR="#008aff">A9</FONT></B>H-bonds in the major groove to <B><FONT COLOR="#008aff">A23</FONT></B> (which is paired with <B><FONT COLOR="#008aff">U12</FONT></B>). It stabilizes a sharp turn between bases 9 and 10.</P>
