To achieve more performance and dynamic overlay of any sequence associated
information, rendering (drawing) was simplified to chain display with the capacity to
display residues in the form nucleotides - Adenosine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C)
and Uracil (U) at the respective coordinates in the molecule. Also viewing the entire
chemical structure in the molecule’s 3D structure is less readable.
Display Bases
By enabling the check box the corresponding residues in the rRNA sequence can
be displayed on the rRNA 3D structure. Disabling this check box will display
the molecule skeleton without residues.
Helix Region
Enabling this check box will display residues that are participating in Helix
formation in the secondary structure models of small subunit rRNA.
Unpaired Helix Region
Enabling this check box will display residues that are participating in bulge
(unpaired helix) formation in the secondary structure models of small subunit
rRNA.
Non-Helix Region
Enabling this check box will display residues that are participating in loop
(non-helix) formation in the secondary structure models of small subunit rRNA.
Display Size
The size of the residues displayed can be changed by specifying the desired
size in “Display size” box.
CHARACTERS
The corresponding residues are displayed with the actual nucleotides -
Adenosine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Uracil (U).
SHAPES
The corresponding residues are displayed with the respective shapes specified
for different structural motifs.
By setting different colors for the secondary structural motifs (loops, stems and
bulges) using “Color Settings”, the respective regions can be easily recognized in
the rRNA 3D structure.
