Figure 6. Mechanical motions of the HIV-1 capsid.

Figure 6

Collective motions were measured using principal component analysis over the last 400 ns of the capsid trajectory. (a) Cumulative contribution to variance from all the principal components. Inset: cumulative contribution to variance from the first 100 principal components. (b) Collectiveness of the first 800 principal components according to their participation number44. (c,d) Projection of the displacement patterns for the first principal component, the direction of the displacement is represented by the direction of the arrow; similarly, the magnitude of the displacement is represented by the length of the arrow. Locations of pentamers are highlighted in green.
