*

Note that the numbers of mesophilic sequences are much higher than the thermophilic sequences in each family.

All hubs are strong hubs identified at Imin = 4%.

The definition of common hubs and exclusive hubs are given in the text.

§

Residue name and number of the common hubs in the mesophile is given within parentheses.

No exclusive hubs in neutral protease at Imin = 4%.

No hubs are found in phosphofructo kinase at Imin = 4%.
