Table1.

Schematic table of parameters used in analysis. Epitope residues and mimotope residues have been investigated from two main perspectives in our work.

The characteristics between epitope and mimotope	General characteristis	Sequence segment of epitopes
		Statistical distances between every two epitope residues
		Epitope patch
		Minimum length of epitope surface path
	Residue characteristis	Preference of amino acids in epitope, mimotopes along with the surface
		Preference of amino acids according different classes
		Preference of residue-neighbor sets in epitope and mimotopes
		Residue accessibility
