Experimental and predicted solubility of ThreeFoil variants

Values for each solubility prediction tool were normalized to be 1.0 for WT. In cases where the tool's output is a lower value when solubility is decreased, the score is simply normalized as Mutscore /WTscore. In cases where the tool's output is a higher value when solubility is decreased, the normalized score is (1/Mutscore)/(1/WTscore) (alternatively, WTscore/Mutscore). Thus, all predictions of reduced solubility relative to WT have scores < 1.0. The following output values were used from each tool: Aggrescan3D (99), total score; CamSol (100), intrinsic solubility; PASTA (101), number of amyloid-forming regions; TANGO (102), Agg parameter; ZipperDB (103), number of amyloid-prone regions; Zyggregator (104), intrinsic aggregation propensity. Hydrophobicity is defined by the change in side chain solvation free energy, as determined by Wimley et al. (65).
