A, RMSF of apo-ACP backbone (black) and side-chain
(gray) atoms, shown for each residue. B, holo-ACP in sausage
representation, where the thickness of the ribbon is proportional to the
backbone fluctuations seen during the simulation. The diagram is colored
according to the difference in fluctuations compared with apo-ACP, ranging
from blue (less flexible than apo-ACP) to yellow (more
flexible than apo-ACP) and red being similarly flexible to apo-ACP.
C, sausage representation of octanoyl-ACP colored analogous to
B. The arrow indicates the position of the bound acyl
chain.
