Molecular dynamics analysis. (a) Chemical structure of the compounds and sliced view of wtPAR2 model shows that three pockets, identified in the initial state (S0) in yellow, unite in a single funnel in the final state (S1), in purple; (b) Sliced view of wtPAR2 model, in white, shows the engulfment of 1-PPA (purple) after the simulations, in the allosteric site the by the allosteric pocket 2; (c) Cross-correlation matrix confronts the stabilizing effects performed by each compound during MDs; (d) RMSF plot representing the residue mobility, dotted lines shows the portion of the ECL2 while continuous lines box the ICL2 and 3; (e) RMSD variation during simulation time; (f) Distance variation of each compound in respect to the initial position shows that AZ8838 remains in the orthosteric pocket, while negative control Ro5-4864 and 1-PPA migrate.
