21. The coordinates for CspA were obtained from the Protein Data Bank (pdb entry pdb1mjc.ent) and the protein was placed at the center of a pre-equilibrated box of TIP3P Monte Carlo equilibrated water molecules. The box was truncated so as to include a 14 Å. thick solvent layer from the protein surface. The AMBER all atom force field with parm94.dat parameter set was used to model the protein. A uniform dielectric constant of ε=1 was used. Molecular dynamics simulations in the NTP ensemble consisted of a initial 100 steps of energy minimization using the steepest descent algorithm, followed by 575 picoseconds of dynamics with a 1 femtosecond timestep, in which the initial 75 ps was considered the equilibration period and the remaining 500 ps was the production run. All through out the simulations, we used a 15 Å non-bonded cut -off radius and a 25 time step update frequency of the non bonded pairlist. Coordinates were saved every 5 ps for future analysis.

24. The unit negative charge was neutralized by protonating a surface Histidine residue and not through the addition of a counterion.

31. This is not always true. In some cases the amount of charge transferred between molecules 1 and 2 (see Figure 1) are equivalent yielding no net transfer of charge.
