The orientation of helices across RNA junctions is specified using three interhelical Euler angles that define rotations around helices (γh and αh) and an interhelical bend angle (βh). The angles can be visualized using 3D plots. Shown in gray are the topologically allowed interhelical orientations across a dinucleotide bulge junction. Image taken from protocol by Al-Hashimi et al.
