Electrostatic and van der Waals interactions between different thin filament pseudorepeat segments defined by B-state (PDB ID 7UTL) and C-state (PDB ID 7UTI) atomic models were measured in VMD (Humphrey et al., 1996). Salt bridges attributed to the above segments were also counted using tip-to-tip inter-residue cutoff of 5.5 Å. Values were tabulated for tropomyosin pseudorepeats 2–6 neighboring TnI. Data reported for C-terminal TnI interactions were acquired for TnI residues 149 to 210, which includes the switch-peptide, H4 helix, and C-terminal domain of TnI (as defined by Marston and Zamora, 2020).
