Cotranslational Protein Folding and Terminus Hydrophobicity

Figure 9

The difference in mean SAINT GDT_TS and mean reverse SAINT GDT_TS against difference in terminus hydrophobicity (N−C) is shown for real proteins (90 in total). The solid lines represent proteins whose N and C termini were defined as being the first and last 10 (blue), 20 (green), and 30 (black) residues in their sequence. The dashed red line is for proteins whose terminus regions were defined as the first (N) and fourth (C) quartiles of a sequence after the trimming of 10% from their lengths at each end.
