  1. Parameters associated with the Tri FPPR.1 and Tri FPPR.2 Env trimer structures are compared with those of other cleaved, solubilized Env structures, AD8 (PDB ID: 8FAD) and AE2 (PDB ID: 8FAE)41.
  2. *The interprotomer opening angles were measured in glycan-free Env trimer all-atom models using PyMOL (Schrödinger LLC) with the “angle_between_domains” command, selecting the corresponding subunits from the two protomers forming the interface.
