A) NV at amino acid 16 (green) located on the back side of DNA binding on helix 1. MD simulations show increased movement of the NV (red) compared to the normal Sox9 (blue) at amino acid 16. B) NV at amino acid 45 (green) at the beginning of the third helix. An acidic amino acid leads to an increase in movement (red) over the normal alanine (blue).
