Dynamic docking results between MR1 and PLIII. (a) Representative structures rkPLIII, which are metastable complexes between MR1 and PLIII ranked based on their population density (Table 1). The protein structures are rendered as a cartoon model, and the ligand as a stick model. Here, r1PLIII, r2PLIII and r3PLIII are colored cyan, magenta, and yellow, respectively. (b) Closeup of r1PLIII, with hydrogen bonds made by the ligand shown and Arg9, Ser24, Tyr62 and Arg94 have been labeled. (c) Closeup of r2PLIII, with hydrogen bonds made by the ligand shown and His58, Trp156 and Glu160 have been labeled. (d) Closeup of r3PLIII, with hydrogen bonds made by the ligand shown and Arg9, Lys43 and Gln153 have been labeled.
