MT tails modulate the diffusion of DBPs and MBPs on MTs. The interactions of the DBPs or MBPs with the MT tails are shown in (A)–(C) and (D)–(F), respectively. Heatmaps of the interaction energy between the proteins and MT lattice, examined with respect to the MT tails (y axis) and MT body (x axis), show that DBPs interact more strongly than MBPs with MTs. The interaction energy between DBPs and the MT body is ∼2-fold higher than that for MBPs, and the interaction energy between the DBPs and the MT tails is ∼3-fold higher than that for MBPs. The analyzed trajectories were sampled at a salt concentration of 0.02 M. To see this figure in color, go online.
