Main topological parameters assessed in this study.

Parameter	Definition
Connected components	It is the number of networks in which any two vertices are connected to each other by links and which is connected to no additional vertices in the network.
Number of nodes	It is the total number of molecules involved.
Number of edges	It is the total number of interactions found.
Clustering coefficient	It is calculated as = , where is the number of links connecting the neighbors of node to each other. It is a measure of how the nodes tend to form clusters.
Network diameter	It is the longest of all the calculated shortest paths in a network.
Shortest paths	The length of the shortest path between two nodes and is . The shortest path length distribution gives the number of node pairs with for .
Characteristic path length	It is the expected distance between two connected nodes.
Averaged number of neighbors	It is the mean number of connections of each node.
Node degree	It is the number of interactions of each node.
Node degree distribution	It represents the probability that a selected node has links.
	Exponent of node degree equation.
	Coefficient of determination of node degree versus number of nodes, on logarithmized data.
