Figure 6

MD simulations of the CXCL8 arginine mutants. MD snapshots of the GAG-binding surface of (A) WT, (B) K64R, (C) K64R/K67R, and (D) K20R/K64R mutants. Intramolecular H-bonds/ion pairs between Lys/Arg and Glu residues over the course of the simulations are shown using dotted lines. S1, S2, and S3 are snapshots from three separate 5 ns trajectories extracted from each individual simulation. Each of the snapshots show distinctly different interaction pattern for the Arg and Lys residues. Substituted arginines are labelled in red.
