Fig 7. Contact number distribution and contact map without electrostatic interactions.

Simulations in the absence of electrostatic forces indicate altered properties for the encounter complex. (A-C) Probability distributions of contact numbers within encounter complex. Standard errors of data are shown. (D) Contact map of opposite-charged contacts within encounter complex for simulations without electrostatic forces included. All other parameters are the same as simulations performed with charges (IS = 10 mM).
