Fig. 6. Each acidic region of N130 in the N130 + rpL5 dense phase imparts a different network structure onto the system.

a Degree distributions, P(k), for pure LJ systems. Because the density of the vapor ρ=0.01,T=1.000 is low, the most likely degree is zero. For the liquid ρ=0.80,T=1.000, the degree distribution shifts towards higher values with a mean around twelve, where the widths of the distribution correspond to the inherent variation in the number of bonds that particles can make in the locally spatially inhomogeneous environment of a liquid. For the solid ρ=1.5,T=0.758, the degree distribution is peaked at twelve. Note that we use reduced units for density and temperature. b Degree distributions, P(k), for the complementary charge interactions between the different acidic regions of N130 and the rpL5 peptides. Unlike the graphs in a, the distributions display bimodality, which is an indication of a bipartite graph. Consistent with the radial distribution functions in Fig. 3, we see that A2 has the largest degrees, followed by A0 and A1. In all cases, averages were calculated across five replicates (n=5).
