Figure Lengend Snippet: Interface contact residues in the GPcl–NPC1complexes. ( A ) Residue contact pairs of the GPcl–NPC1 interfaces for EBOV, SUDV, and RAVV were analyzed using the MOE software (version 2018; Chemical Computing Group, Montreal, Canada). Residue–residue contact pairs that appeared in at least 50% of the 1500 MD simulation frames are shown for EBOV (blue), SUDV (red), and RAVV (yellow) GPcl–NPC1 complexes. In each panel, the light, intermediate dark, and darkest colors represent the contact pairs containing van der Waals interactions (vdW), vdW + hydrogen bonds (hb), and vdW + hb + salt bridges (sb), respectively. Amino acid residues that are distinct from those of EBOV GPcl are shown in red. The numbering scheme for GPcl was adapted from EBOV. ( B ) Venn diagram for the number of residue contact pairs observed for EBOV (blue), SUDV (red), and RAVV (yellow) GPcl–NPC1 complexes.
