Dynamics of SAM and SAH ligands in their binding pockets in SAM-II riboswitch. Snapshots from 200-nsec MD trajectory are shown every 1 nsec in two different views (left and right panels) for the SAM-II riboswitch bound to (A) SAM and (B) SAH. The ligands follow the color code: carbon (cyan), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), and sulfur (yellow).
