The computational design of JY-1-106. (A) Chemical structures of JY-1-106 and its analog JY-1-106a. (B and C) Probability distribution maps of JY-1-106 (forward orientation) side chain carbon atoms (green) along with the corresponding crystallographic peptide side chain heavy atoms (orange) overlaid on a representative conformation of JY-1-106 determined from the MD simulation for both Bcl-xL (B) and Mcl-1 (C). RMS fluctuations of residues lining the binding pocket for Bcl-xL (D) and Mcl-1 (E), with JY-1-106 and JY-1-106a in both the forward and backward orientations.
