Escherichia Coli Replication Terminator Protein

(TUS) Complexed With DNA

- Locked form

• This is dsDNA of

TUS- protein

complex. It is 13

base-pairs dsDNA

with unstretched

length of 4.135 nm

and width from

backbone to

backbone of 1.55-

2.5nm. The base pair

length is .389nm.

Appearance of major

and minor grooves

depends on the

orientation of the

DNA.Major groove

•TUS-protein DNA

Complex as whole.

Pink, orange purple

and white strings

are the proteins. The

whole complex is

5.2 nm X 6.98 nm X

4.78 nm. The little

balls are the

molecules.

• TUS Protein DNA

Complex under

Van der wall surface.

• Molecular

symmetric View along

the z-axis of the DNA

probably. You are

looking at the

transverse plane

normal to DNA’s axis.
