(A) View of the constriction zone along the z direction. The important residues are in stick, the Asp and Glu in red, the Arg and Lys in blue, the Tyr in yellow. The loop L3 is in red. (B) Schematic view of OmpF along y with the charged residues. (C) Ampicillin molecule in an all-atom representation with atom labels.

4. Figure 3
Contour plot of the free energy surface (each color is 0.5kcal/mol) obtained with two standard MD simulations of 4.5ns each. Crosses label the initial configurations.

5. Figure 4
Contour plot of the free energy surfaces, each color is 1 kcal/mol of difference. The calculation does not give the relative probability of the minima because we did not observe a recrossing. Only the free energy barriers along the arrows are meaningful. (A) Process Ext-to-Int and (B) Int-to-Ext.
