Data are ranked in descending order by the absolute value of the correlations for CDF 1 and only significant variables (P < 0.05) are shown. “R” group character refers to the chemical character of the amino acid residue side chain. Significant variables on CDF 1 are shown in normal font. Data in bold are significant on CDF 1 and CDF 2, and data in bold italic are significant on CDF 2 only. A positive correlation between a variable and CDF 1 for all data sets indicates an increase in that variable in the transition from thermophile to mesophile and psychrophile. A negative correlation between a variable and CDF 2 in the primary and buried data sets indicates an increase in that variable in the transition from mesophile and thermophile to psychrophile. A negative correlation between a variable and CDF 2 in the surface data set indicates a decrease in that variable in the transition from mesophile and thermophile to psychrophile.
