a

The F-G loop region in the crystal structure of human CYP2C9 (PDB id: 1R9O) is missing. Two models of the F-G loop were generated for the simulations (Cojocaru et al., 2011). Model 1 has F′ and G′ helices, and model 2 has an unstructured F-G loop.

b

SOL, the soluble CYPs (no membrane); MEM, the membrane-bound CYPs in a lipid bilayer.

c

The ligands used in the simulation. FLO, 4′-hydroxy flurbiprofen; MCP, 14α-methylenecyclopropyl-Δ7-24,25-dihydrolanosterol; “----”, ligand-free structures.

d

In the NPγT simulations of the membrane-bound CYPs, a surface tension, γ = 60 dyn/cm, was applied to the plane of the membrane together with the pressure control to maintain the bilayer dynamics (Cojocaru et al., 2011). A comparison of the area per lipid, the bilayer thickness, and the order parameters of the membrane in the 60-ns simulation of the membrane-bound CYP51 with experimental data is plotted in Figures S6 and S7.

e

Only the ligand MCP of 3P99 was transferred into the active site of the equilibrated ligand-free CYP51 structure (originally derived from the crystal structure 3G1Q). The simulations were then performed starting with this structure (see Methods).
