Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Coauthor B. Kim Lee Sim is the President and Chief Scientific Officer of Protein Potential. The authors from Washington University School of Medicine (Chen, Paing, Salinas and Tolia) have no affiliation to Protein Potential other than for pure interest in scientific collaboration. This does not alter any author's adherence to all the PLoS Pathogens' policies on sharing data and materials.
