 Determined from linear regression analysis of data shown in Fig. 2.  

 Assumption: 1st tandem Ig segment contains 66 Ig-like domains; 2nd tandem Ig domain contains 28 Ig/Fn-like domains; PEVK contains 2174 residues (to account for three Ig domains 13 nm was subtracted from measured N2A-514 distance).
