51. It is worth mentioning that the volume distribution of all the studied cavities was found to be asymmetric, with a longer tail on the high-volume side. It was found that a log-normal distribution gave the best to fit these data (better than Gaussian-like functions). Indeed, previous studies have strongly suggested that such behavior is often adopted in nature (see, for instance, ref 52).

54. Though it is beyond the focus of this work, we will briefly mention that 135L regulates the gate between Xe2 and cavity 4, close to the phantom cavities previously observed. This is consistent with previous theoretical studies of ligand migration from the proximal region to the phantom region via a bottleneck close to Xe2 (see, for instance, refs 23 and 31).

65. We cannot exclude the possibility that this result was obtained because our model is based on a met-myoglobin. The water molecule bound to the iron center of the heme group may influence the histidine gate.
