Major groove triples in the group II intron in Oceanobacillus Iheyensis. Each stacked layer is formed by one triplex with a different color scheme. Hydrogen bonds between triplexes are shown in black dashed lines. "N" atoms are colored in blue and "O" atoms in red. From top to bottom, the residues on the left side are G288, C289, and C377.[6]
Close-up rendering of the U114:A175-U101 major groove (Hoogsteen base) triplex formed within the wild type pseudoknot of Human Telomerase RNA. Hydrogen bonds are shown in black dashed lines. "N" atoms are colored in blue and "o" atoms in red.[7]
