Study on Molecular Recognition between Euphorbia Factor L713283 and β-Tubulin via Molecular Simulation Methods

Figure 9

Comparative analysis of motion modes for the β-tubulin and docked complex1 systems. ((a)-(b)) The structures of αβ-tubulin and the β-tubulin subunit are marked with red oval. ((c)-(d)) The L713283-unbound β-tubulin system. ((e)-(f)) The complex1 system. The motion mode is shown with cone model, in which the length is correlative with motion magnitude and the arrow corresponds to motion direction. Protein backbone is represented with Cα stick model in gray, while small molecule L713283 is shown with ball-and-stick model.
