Hydrophobic contacts Cα-Cα distances between the pair of residue 4 from each strand (St) in the dry interior of tandem repeat cylindrin as function of time. Red for wild-type (WT-TR), magenta for V4GV8G-TR, brown for V4AV8A-TR, blue V2L-TR, and green for VTL-TR. Shown are the averages over three independent 300 ns trajectories. For each model, the standard deviations are calculated from the three values obtained by averaging over each of the 300 ns trajectories.
