(a) Close view of the secondary interface of the mutant HCMV NEC, highlighting the salt bridges R102E147 and R139D99. (b) Distribution of the stability of the salt bridge E147R102, which is already present in the wildtype structure, against the additional salt bridge R139D99 created by mutation. (c) Plot of the distance of the salt bridges R139D99 (grey) and E147R102 (orange) versus simulation time (run 2). (d) Twist angle of both simulations run of the mutant HCMV NEC (run 1, purple; run 2, green).
