The analyses include CP: Contact probability; JS: Jensen-Shannon divergence for dihedral distributions; COV: covariance with ligand/DNA binding sites; SOP: Sub-optimal path analysis that connects the ligand-binding and DNA-binding sites. Numbers in parentheses indicate the number of residues identified in a given segment. “LB” indicates that the residue(s) is (are) observed to be in contact with the ligand in ligand-bound simulations (Fig. 3).
