BASiC clusters (43, 50) in MSG

The absolute contact orders for the clusters were calculated based on the identified amino acids of the clusters (51, 52). The high values of absolute contact orders are due to the large size of the protein.

Major clusters identified by “BASiC networks (49, 50)” (>500 Å2 buried)	No. of amino acids involved	No. of total contacts formed	Absolute contact order (51, 52)
Cluster 1	24	41	67.19
Cluster 2	20	31	51.03
Cluster 3	23	31	106.9
Cluster 6	14	16	96.75
Cluster 7	14	20	80.5
