A global map of the protein shape universe
Fig 10
The eccentricity, the pocket size, and the Vp/Vc ratio relative to the protein length.
(A), the eccentricity of proteins was plotted relative to the protein length. Red, single-chain proteins; blue, complex structures. (B), the pocket volume (Å3) relative to the protein length. (C), The Vp/Vc ratio relative to the protein length. (D), an example of single-chain proteins that have a small Vp/Vc ratio. 3ag3I, a 72 residue-long protein, which has a Vp/Vc ratio of 0.29. (E), An example of complex structures with a small Vp/Vc ratio. 3pcv, a complex with 12 chains with a total of 1,752 residues. The Vp/Vc ratio is 0.147. (F), another example of complex structures with a small Vp/Vc ratio. 3p69, a complex with 12 chains with a total of 1,524 residue long. The Vp/Vc ratio is 0.295.
