12. It is of interest in this regard that the number of native contacts (i.e., the packing density) is directly related to the crystallographic temperature (B) factors (see Halle, B. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99, 1274-1279 2002.
13. The van der Waals radii used are: 1.15 Å (H), 1.70 Å (C), 1.52 Å (N), 1.50 Å (O), and 1.80 Å (S). Hydrogen bonds were defined to be present if the angle between the NH vector and the OH vector is below 0.7 rad and the OH distance is below 2.4 Å. Contacts between two residues were defined to be present when any pair of their atoms are closer than 8.5 Å.
