Figure 8.

The schematic PMFs from the nucleotide pre-insertion to insertion for the cognate rATP and non-cognate dATP. The PMF of rATP is shown in black curve, the on-path and off-path PMFs of dATP are shown in blue and purple, respectively. The relative binding free energy for the on-path dATP pre-insertion (config 1) to that of rATP has been calculated alchemically. The final configuration (config 5) of dATP off-path locates in between config 4 and 5 on-path (see Supplementary Figure S8). The dissociation barriers at nucleotide pre-insertion are treated similarly as in Figure 5, except for the off-path pre-insertion being an intermediate configuration as during the translocation (see text).
