2) The data_6zh9_1.tar.xz, data_6zh9_2.tar.xz,  data_6ZH9_GM2.tar.xz, and data_6ZH9_GM3.tar.xz files contain

The dataset comprises a total of 50 replicas, each with a total of 751 snapshots, and the mdp and tpr files, which are located in the CG_Pull/Trajectories folder, for the RBD-H11-H4 complex. The gro, mdp and tpr files for NVT and NPT equilibrations are included.

The force and displacement xvg files for each replica are included in the GC_Pull folder (pullf*.xvg and pullx*.xvg, respectively). The output files from GōMartini are included.

The system consists of a single-domain antibody (i.e. nanobody) and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. In this regard, the nanobody named H11-H4 and the RBD form a mechanostable protein complex with PDB ID: 6ZH9. The entire system was modeled by the Martini 3 force field. The same protocol as for the XMod-Doc:Coh complex was employed. The GōMartini model requires a total of 715 contacts divided into 404 and 285 for the RBD and the H11-H4 respectively and the protein complex interface was represented by 26 contacts. The value of the dissociation energy of the LJ potentials was set to a value of ε = 15.0 kJ/mol. The dimensions of the water box for the RBD-Nb complex were 16x12x90 nm3 with a 0.15 M NaCl. There were 135,669 CG water beads representing 542,676 water molecules.

To conduct the nanomechanical studies, the positions of RBD residues GLY-526, PRO-527, and  LYS-528 were kept frozen in the z-axis and the coordinates of residues SER-126, SER-127, and LYS-128 in H11-H4 were kept frozen in x- and y-axis, and were chosen for SMD simulation at constant speed.

Two different protocols according to all-atom SMD simulation were considered. i) in data_6zh9_1.tar.xz: Restraints were applied to the backbone atoms of the RBD with a spring contact of kb =1000 kJ/(mol·nm2) to avoid large deformation and the residue in the SMD protocol with velocity equal to 5x10-3 nm/ps was coupled to another harmonic potential with a spring constant equal to 600 kJ/(mol·nm2) and ii) data_6zh9_2.tar.xz: Pulling velocity was equal to 1x10-4 nm/ps was coupled to another harmonic potential with a spring constant equal to 600 kJ/(mol·nm2). 

The supplementary files data_6ZH9_GM2.tar.xz and data_6ZH9_GM3.tar.xz followed a similar protocol as data_6ZH9_2.tar.xz, with the following differences: the box size was set to 10 × 10 × 60 nm, and the spring constant was adjusted to 37.6 kJ/(mol·nm²). For the GōMartini 2 model, the default value of ε = 9.414 kJ/mol was used.

3) The IDP_GoMartini3.tar.gz file has the following folders:

a) Atomistic

The _atomistic_ directory contains subfolders for each of the IDPs tested. Each subdirectory contains the topology for the protein and an initial starting structure. There is also a folder of the mdp files used. In each simulation, the correct temperature as described in the manuscript was applied.

b) Martini

The _martini_ directory contains subfolders for each of the IDPs tested. Each subdirectory contains topology for the corresponding protein model tested, and the starting structure used. The TEMP variable in the mdp files was replaced with the experimentally corresponding temperature in each simulation.

c) Condensate

The _condensate_ directory contains two systems. The artifical IDP (_aIDP_) condensate system of Dzuricky et al. and the short peptides of Abbas et al. (_peptides_)

_aIDP_ has two systems comparing the native and optimised topologies for the phase separation of the aIDP.
