aThe secondary structure composition from the CD spectrum was estimated by the BeStSel and CONTIN algorithms. The two algorithms use different secondary structure components, however, the overall helix, β-sheet and turn+others contents are comparable.

bThe secondary structure contents were also calculated for the Phyre2 homology model using the DSSP algorithm [46] and the BeStSel and CONTIN definitions [47,48].
