a Based on the RMSD values of the GPCR Dock models.

b Calculated based on the median of the centroids representing the five largest clusters from each MD refinement, i.e. the third best result of each MD refinement is used to calculate the ΔRMSD.

c Calculated based on the best RMSD value obtained from the centroids representing the five largest clusters from each MD refinement.

d Calculated based on the minimum RMSD identified in all 1500 snapshots generated for each model.
