Molecular dynamics simulations suggested that the mutations in 281-285 reduced flexibility of the N-terminal alpha helix, and hence that such flexibility may be important for function. Indeed, 226-267 (the N-terminal helix) is predicted to be intrinsically disordered<ref>[[Image:3b0z-FlhB-foldindex.png]]</ref>. The formation of a helix seems likely to be the result of stabilization by crystal contacts mentioned above. | Molecular dynamics simulations suggested that the mutations in 281-285 reduced flexibility of the N-terminal alpha helix, and hence that such flexibility may be important for function.
