Indices of calculations, GC: the GC pilus, TCP: the TCP, PG: the T2SS pseudopilus (PulG pilus).
2Distance constraints applied to the calculations, in the form of atom pairs.
3Percentage of decoys in the largest cluster.
4Detailed symmetric information of picked decoys (with the lowest energy score) from the largest cluster, described by the rise along the axis, the rotation angle, the radius of COM (center of mass) of each subunit, and also the number of subunits per turn.
5Cutoffs applied in clustering processes.
*Calculation selected for high-resolution sampling in the second step.
Calculation in high-resolution mode.
Constraint defining a distance no less than 10 Å.
