16. i are relatively homogenous over the domains, which is for instance true when the domains are well connected within the structure's heavy atoms contact matrix, equation (1). Such multi-domain structures behave like single-domain structures as far as the original definition of the structural profile is concerned. According to the Protein Domain Parser (PDP) [25], the set of 404 folds used in reference [11] contains 45 such multi-domain structures
17. ij indicate individual components
