The Human Plasma Membrane Peripherome: Visualization and Analysis of Interactions
Figure 2
Charts for four complex topological parameters of the network of the peripheral proteins of human plasma membrane. (a) Node degree distribution which decays as a power law and accentuates the scale-free properties of the network. (b) Average clustering coefficient distribution. (c) Topological coefficient distribution. Both the average clustering coefficient and topological coefficient distributions indicate that the network has a modular organization. (d) Betweenness centrality distribution. This distribution shows that proteins with high betweenness centralities, which act as hubs, are few, compared to the rest of the proteins in the network. All the distributions shown above are in log-log plots.
