Fitting Procedure ?
Details AlphaFold 2 models for each subunit were docked into the density individually using the "fit to map" functionality in ChimeraX, then refined using Coot. The density for the DNA was sharp enough to allow us to discern purines and pyrimidines, allowing us to produce a generic DNA-B form model of the respective DNA sequence and manually rebuild it in Coot. PHENIX Real Space Refine functionality was used to further process and finalize the structure.
