Structural Analysis of Respirasomes in Electron Transfer Pathway of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans: A Computer-Aided Molecular Designing Study

Figure 6

(a) Comparison of Rg values of each respirasome during MD simulation. The plot shows two groups of Rg values, one for Cyc2 and CoxAB, that is, ~2.4 Å, and the other for RcY and Cyc1, that is, ~1.5 Å. The figure indicates that RcY and Cyc1 proteins were highly stable (low Rg value) in comparison to Cyc2 and CoxAB (high Rg value) during MD simulation.
