Fig. 3: ECF-FolT2 induced membrane deformation.
From: Membrane mediated toppling mechanism of the folate energy coupling factor transporter
a MD snapshot showing the local membrane bending around the ECF module. EcfT is colored in red, EcfA and EcfA′ in white, and the phosphate groups of the lipids are colored in orange. Lipid tails are depicted in cyan with magenta for the unsaturated parts. b Curvature map around the ECF module (outline) for the upper leaflet, Lx and Ly denote bilayer lateral directions. c Membrane thickness map around the ECF module.
