Figure 3. The 3D spatial density map of inter- and intra-FG-repeats hydrophobic interactions inside the channel.

We pinpointed every single hydrophobic interaction and recorded its coordinates along with the strength of interaction throughout the simulation. Each dim point shows a single hydrophobic interaction, and thus, the color intensity is proportional to the number of hydrophobic interactions. The channel is represented as a wired frame for clarity. (A) side view and (B) top view snapshots.
