    A schematic of the three enzymes is shown before and after the crystal structure determination (left and central columns, respectively). Strands that were deliberately chosen are depicted in red and blue, while the ones that resulted from random selection are shown in black. Nucleotides at the ligation junction are coloured in cyan, stacking nucleotides are depicted in light red. Nucleotides shown as white-filled circles are indicated for orientation purposes. Recognition between reactive and pairing nucleotides is shown as dashed lines (left column). Structures of product-bound nucleic acid enzymes are compared (PDB accessions 5CKK (9DB1), 3HHN (class I) and 2OIU (L1), right column).
