C-DTJ: interaction of nucleotide 0R with the major groove of base pair [0P;0Q]. In the motifs 2AW4-2460, 1XJR-40, and 3P49-52, nucleotide 0R makes the cis-SE-WC base pair with nucleotide 0P, while in the motifs 2AVY-597 and 1S03-37, nucleotide 0R makes the cis-SE-HG base pair with nucleotide 0Q. Unlike in B-DTJs, nucleotide 0R in C-DTJs is locally parallel to 0Q and is anti-parallel to 0P.
