Entropic Effects of EC and IC Regions in Various Conformational States
(A) Torsional entropy of the residues in the extracellular (EC) and intracellular (IC) regions of A2AR in various conformational states when bound to agonists NECA (solid colored bars) and ADO (white bars). The torsional entropy is shown in units of the Boltzmann constant kB.
(B) The thermal B factor calculated from the root-mean-square fluctuations (RMSF) using the formula B factor = (8π2/3) (RMSF)2 of the Cα atoms in the EC regions are shown as a heatmap for the four conformational states of A2AR.
