Figure 5.
(A and B) Plot of the observed force for Ton-box extraction from the luminal domain in (A) Apo-sym (green) and (B) Apo-OM (orange) systems, with the corresponding standard error shown in gray. Each curve is an average of three time-averaged, constant-velocity SMD runs of 1 Å/ns. The Apo-OM curve is the run average of one Apo2-OM and two Apo1-OM SMD runs. The peak force for Apo-sym occurs around 11 ns and corresponds to unbinding of Arg14 from the hydrogen-bond network, as shown in Fig. 4. The peak force in the Apo-OM systems occurs around 6 ns and corresponds to the hydrophobic interaction of Val10 to Ala12 with the luminal domain. Independent SMD run results can be found in Fig. S11.
