Figure 4

Free energy profile describing a plausible kinetic pathway for the AF17121-IL5Rα interaction. The thick line shows the pathway of AF17121, while the dotted line shows the pathway of H11A and E17A-E18A variants. The encounter state of the peptide-receptor complex can be stabilized and observed upon such mutations as H11A and E17A-E18A.
