  1. Δaffinity values report the change in binding affinity within protomers between the wild type and VbTA T16F mutant; Δstability values report the changes in protein (monomer or homodimer) stability occurring after the mutation; stability is defined as the difference in energy between the folded and unfolded states. Δaffinity and Δstability data are calculated using an implicit solvent MM-GBSA method.
