Figure 5. Comparison of the molecular dynamics of the native tetramer and a putative dimeric form of Vv-DHDPS.
Simulations were analyzed by aligning chain A from all frames of the trajectories, and computing the root mean squared fluctuations (RMSF) of chain B, the monomer on the opposite side of the ‘tight-dimer’ interface. Shown are the RMSF values by residue number for the dimer (red) and tetramer (black). The inset shows 75 frames of the aligned dimer at 1 ns intervals.
