The considered system is a 10,000 frame trajectory of the GTP-bound Gαi1 subunit (PDB: 1CIP; 2593 atoms; 316 residues and 1 GTP molecule (44 atoms)).

b

CPU time (seconds) on an AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM.

c

Solvent accessible surface area computed by the Wordom implementation of the ARVO algorithm.

d

selection consisted in GTP and first 9 residues (selection /*/@(1–10)/*)

e

Solvent accessible surface area computed by the ARVO program.

f

Solvent accessible surface area computed by the Wordom implementation of the GEPOL algorithm (highest accuracy).

g

Solvent accessible surface area computed by the GEPOL program (highest accuracy).

h

Solvent excluded surface area computed by the Wordom implementation of the GEPOL algorithm; accuracy settings: rmin 0.5, ofac 0.8, ndiv 5.

i

Solvent excluded surface area computed by the GEPOL program; accuracy setting: rmin 0.5, ofac 0.8, ndiv 5.

j

van der Waals surface area computed by the Wordom implementation of the GEPOL algorithm; highest accuracy.

k

van der Waals surface area computed by the GEPOL program; highest accuracy.

l

Residue-residue correlation by means of the dynamic cross correlation method; masses were not taken into account.

m

Selection consisted in all Cα atoms and GTP

n

Residue-residue correlation by means of the linear mutual information method; masses were not taken into account.

o

PSN analysis probing 11 different Imin values (from 0.0 to 5.0 with a 0.5 step).

p

Only the RMSD-based distance matrix was computed at this stage and written to file.

q

All Cα atoms were selected.

r

Clustering by the QT-like algorithm, using a precalculated distance matrix (RMSD cutoff 1.0 Å).

s

Clustering by the hierarchical algorithm, using a pre-calculated distance matrix (RMSD cutoff 1.0 Å).

t

Clustering by the leader-like algorithm (RMSD cutoff 1.0 Å); distance matrix is not necessary.

u

Clustering by the leader-like algorithm (RMSD cutoff 1.0 Å) and turning on the non-markovian option. In this case, the bottleneck is disk speed (CPU usage 18%).

v

Clustering by the leader-like algorithm (DRMS cutoff 1.0 Å).
