The REF (Table S6). The REF inhibitors also showed equivalent average RMSF values of 0.09 and 0.11 and CT7001, inhibitors also showed comparable typical RMSF values of 0.09 and 0.11 for THZ1 for THZ1 and CT7001, S6). Substantial fluctuations had been observed for Hit1 at for respectively (Table respectively (Table S6). Substantial fluctuations had been observed residues 15 and Hit1 at residues 15 and303, and CT7001 at residue 312 (Figure 6B). The observed residues are 167, Hit2 at residue 167, Hit2 at residue 303, and CT7001 at residue 312 (Figure 6B). The observed residues are usually not a part of the ATPbinding pocket; except these, no considerable not a part of the ATPbinding pocket; except these, no important fluctuations have been observed. fluctuations were observed.
