* The lonepair conformations: WC (Watson-Crick), rWC (reversed Watson-Crick), rWb (reversed Wobble), H (Hoogsteen), rH (reversed Hoogsteen), S (sheared), and NC (other non-canonical) (see Fig. 5). Base-pair distributions are from the rRNA10,12 and tRNA38 crystal structures.

** The lonepair T:A in the T loop of tRNAs is included here.
