  1. a The interface parameters were obtained with the PROTORP server for the FtsB/FtsL/FtsQ complex after the molecular dynamic equilibration.
  2. b The interfaces considered were between the FtsB/FtsL subcomplex and FtsQ. The FtsB and FtsL pair was treated as a single unit.
  3. c The percentages of each kind of residue consider only the residues at the exposed surface.
  4. d The data for the mean stable complex were extracted from Reynolds et al. [65]
