Other Details Though C2 symmetry was applied to the map, the actual structure is not C2. This is primarily because of differences in the DNA sequences. The actual DNA sequences bound to each subunit are different between particles and are lost during particle averaging. Different sequences were built in to the density based on areas of highest complementarity of the substrate.

Fitting Procedure ?
Details Initial fitting was done in isolde before refinement in Phenix. Though C2 symmetry was applied to the map, the actual structure is not C2. This is primarily because of differences in the DNA sequences. The actual DNA sequences bound to each subunit are different between particles and are lost during particle averaging. Different sequences were built in to the density based on areas of highest complementarity of the substrate.
