It is to note that the molecular interactions of ligand-protein were restrained to the initial poses adapted from the high-resolution structures during structure refinement.

PHASE FLIPPING AND AMPLITUDE CORRECTIONThe contrast transfer function (CTF) was estimated using CTFFIND4 [(Rohou and Grigorieff, 2015) CTFFIND4: Fast and accurate] with a 500 um step search. A second CTFFIND run with a 100 um step search was carried out to refine the initial defocus values. Micrographs whose estimated resolution was lower than 8 Angstrom with 0.8 confidence were excluded.67040Inspection, defocus estimation, microtubule picking, and stack creation were performed within the Appion processing environment (Lander et al., 2009). Images were selected for processing on the basis of high decoration, straight MTs, and the absence of crystalline ice.
