Bending via roll at T-A steps in TBP or the TATA-binding protein (top) and in γδ-resolvase (bottom). Note that not every T-A step in TBP or γδ-resolvase is necessarily bent. Note also in γδ-resolvase that C-A = T-G steps, which in proteins such as CAP are used to generate sharp roll bends, here, frequently, are local roll maxima, even though they contribute little to the overall bending. They have a bending potential that is not used in this particular setting.
