Statistics are taken from the final 20 ns of the simulation. The listed contacts are not observed in the open and closed x-ray structures of AK, in which the Pro177 hinge assumes a helical structure. Contacts are defined as residues containing heavy atoms within 4 Å of each other. ∗Polar or charged electrostatic contact.
