Van der Waals rendering of GsMTx4 structure and the simulation configuration. Left: a representative snapshot from an AT 60/64-WT free simulation of WT GsMTx4 and a POPC bilayer membrane. Trp residues are cyan, Phe residues are lime, other hydrophobic residues (Ala, Cys, Ile, Leu, Met, Pro and Val) are green, basic residues (Arg ad Lys) are blue, and acidic residues (Asp and Glu) are red. For the POPC head group, the nitrogen atoms are blue, phosphorus atoms are ocher, and carbonyl oxygen atoms are red spheres. The terminal carbon atoms of the lipid acyl tails are ice blue spheres. Water molecules and chloride ions are not shown. Right: a bottom and side view of WT GsMTx4 sampled from an in-water simulation. The bottom view illustrates the hydrophobic protrusion that contains W6. The graphical representation is similar to the panel on the left.
