Experimental MAD electron density map (contoured at 1.5 σ level) obtained with the U2656-SeCH3 SRL RNA. (A) Stereo view showing residues 2651–2669. (B) Detailed view of the A2657-G2664 mismatch. Electron density maps of similar quality were obtained by SAD phasing with U2656-SeCH3 RNA, and by MAD/SAD phasing with the U2650-SeCH3 SRL sequence.
