The red residues are a base triple in which <B><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">7-methyl-G46</FONT></B> from the <B>variable loop</B> H-bonds to the <B><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">G22-C13</FONT></B> base pair of the <B>D stem</B>. This helps dock the <B>variable loop</B> onto the <B>D-stem</B>.

<B><FONT COLOR="#008aff">A9</FONT></B> is also involved in another type of tertiary interaction: it is <scene name='72/725890/Trna_tertwire/1'>intercalated between bases</scene> <B><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">7-methyl-G46</FONT></B> and <B>G45</B>. In order to make room between these bases for <B><FONT COLOR="#008aff">A9</FONT></B> the backbone is extended by a C2' endo sugar pucker at <B><FONT COLOR="#ff0000">7-methyl-G46</FONT></B>.
