List of order parameters

dC-C Distance between CA atoms of residues 43 in the two monomers.
dH-O Distance between hydrogen atom HG in the side chain of residue 21 (Cys/Ser) and oxygen atom O in the backbone of residue Gln17.
di-j' Distance between centers of mass of the side chains of residues at positions i and j in the other monomer, indicated by the prime symbol (′). These distances are calculated for the following pairs:
 (Antiparallel) Leu26-Val37′, Leu30-Leu33′, Leu33-Leu30′, and Val37-Leu26′,
 (Parallel) Leu26-Leu26′, Leu30-Leu30′, Leu33-Leu33′, and Val37-Val37′.
N-H–O=C Distance between hydrogen atom H in the backbone of residue n and oxygen atom O in the backbone of residue n+4.
Σnhc Sum of distances of native hydrophobic contacts. These distances include d26-37, d30-33, d33-30, and d37-26 for the antiparallel conformation, and d26-37, d30-33, d33-30, and d37-26 for the parallel conformation.
Σα1 Sum of distances of N-H – O=C of residues 2–6, 3–7, and 4–8.
Σα2 Sum of distances of N-H – O=C of residues 10–14, 11–15, 12–16, and 13–17.
Σ8-14-33 Sum of distances of centers of mass of side chains of residues Leu8, Leu14, and Leu33.
