The third and fifth columns give the changes in Rosetta scores for the E1/E2 interaction resulting from mutation of E1 and E2 residues, respectively, to Ala, compared to the E1/E2 interaction energy for the wild-type proteins. A positive value indicates that the mutation destabilizes the interaction between E1 and E2.
