Dissociation constants (Kd) for binding of the CjCBMs to α-chitin, determined by experiments (Fig. 6) and simulations (Fig. 7 and Fig. S3)
Protein | Simulations (μM) |
Experiments (μM) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0% | 5% | 10% | 15% | ||
CjCBM5 | 1800 | 480 | 36 | 0.65 | 8.9 ± 0.5 |
CjCBM73 | 290 | 76 | 15 | 0.13 | 2.9 ± 0.1 |
The modeled values were calculated from umbrella-sampling simulations in which the interaction strength between chitin beads and protein beads remained unchanged (0%) or was increased by 5, 10, and 15%.
