Above: Ensemble average Structures of TATA-variants over the 2.4 ns DNA/ion/water simulations and final structures from hypothetical trajectory to Dx using first 40 PCs RMS from Dx:1.5A (WT), 1.7A (T26), 2.3A (A29)
Movie: Hypothetical trajectory to Dx using first 40 PCs
(notice the different magnitudes in minor groove widening motion)
