Simulation of MAC inhibitors with LolA and LolB. (A) Snapshots taken at the beginning (left) and at the end (right) of a simulation with LolA (cyan), LolB (green) embedded in an outer membrane model (grey), cell wall (orange), and 20 MAC molecules (pink). (B) The Z-coordinates of the centers of mass of six different MACs with respect to that of the cell wall throughout a 100 ns simulation, to highlight the ability of the inhibitor to diffuse through the cell wall layer.
