  1. Amino acid numbering is based on position of HMG box domain (39–115) within SOX2 protein. The sequence of bases in one strand of DNA (chain b) are numbered from 1–25 and in the other strand (chain a) are numbered as 26–50. D (A, C, T, G) denotes Deoxyribonucleotides, D…A, denotes distances between donor atom and acceptor atom, while D-H…A illustrates distance between the hydrogen bonded to donor atom and acceptor atom
