Description
The E. coli RuvA protein binding to two strands of
DNA in the process of homologous recombination
(a structure known as a Holliday junction). The
protein is coloured to show the electrostatic
charge (blue=positve, white=neutral and
orange=negative). The backbones of the individual
strands of the DNA have been coloured blue, red,
yellow and green. Within the DNA strands the atoms
are coloured as follows: white=C, red=O, blue=N,
yellow=P.
