Protein  PDB Identifier: BBA5; Primary sequence: 23 residues; Designed protein;Native fold: N-terminal 1–10 β hairpin, C-terminal 11–23 α-helix
Trajectory  Two trajectories: T23 and T24;T23: 192 conformations; T24: 150 conformations
Contact map  Based on contacts between α-carbons.Two α-carbons are in contact if their Euclidian distance is ≤ 8.5 Å
Bit-patterns  A total of 352 unique maximally connected bit-patterns were identified from all conformations;Average number of bit-patterns per conformation is 6;Bit-patterns are further classified into 10 approximately equivalent types
Interacting bit-patterns  If at least one pair of α-carbons, one from each bit-pattern, is of Euclidian distance ≤ 10 Å
Frequent SOAPs  A SOAP is frequent if it appears in ≥ 5 conformations;A total of 444 frequent SOAPs identified in trajectory T23, and 258 in T24
Consensus partial folding pathway  We identified a consensus partial folding pathway across the two trajectories.It is composed of 71 pairs of similar conformations, one from each trajectory
