Linear relationship between ∆C_p and the number of residues in the protein. ∆C_p is plotted versus number of residues for the proteins acid protease (solid symbols). The solid black line is linear fit of the data, giving a slope of 0.020 kcal mol⁻¹ deg⁻¹ residues⁻¹. The dotted black shows the collected data for ∆C_p versus number of residues for many globular domain proteins. The slope of this line is 0.015 kcal mol⁻¹ deg⁻¹ residues⁻¹.
