Structural role of essential light chains in the apicomplexan glideosome

Presented here are the modelled structures of TgMyoA motor and neck domain bound to MLC1 and TgELC1 or TgELC2.

10 complexes:

5 with TgELC1

5 with TgELC2

In these complexes:

TgELC1/2 has chain label A

MLC1 has chain label B

TgMyoA has chain label C

All models contain hydrogens

All complexes were energy minimized (1000 steps) in solvent
