Coarse grained molecular dynamics (CGMD) simulations of Vpu proteins embedded in a planar lipid bilayer model were chosen to evaluate the oligomeric assembly under likely in vivo conditions such as an abundance of Vpu proteins in a large lipid patch and simulated over a long time period. The dynamics data was plotted as area of the peak of the higher oligomer (A P1 ), divided by the total area of A P1 and the peak area of the dimer (A P2 ), A P1 /(A P1 + A P2 ), over time for Vpu-WT with a double logarithmic growth curve (Fig. 4b , black and Table 2 ).
