Normalized
directional index for plexin RBD in monomer (left) and
dimer (right) forms with motion activator regions labeled in red arrows
and motion responder regions labeled in blue arrows. Atom j is on the vertical, and atom i is on
the horizontal axis. Positive values of Dj→i (in yellow and red) indicate
that the information flow is from j to i, and atom j is the source of the correlation between
atoms j and i; on average, the fluctuations
of atom j drive the fluctuations of atom i. On the contrary, negative values of Dj→i (in blue)
indicate that atom j is the sink of the correlations
between atoms j and i, and atom j responds to the motion of atom i.
