Table 5 A summary of the GSGS folding trajectories. Protein Name: GSGS or Beta3s; Primary sequence: 20 residues; Designed protein;Native fold: three stranded anti-parallel β-sheets with turns at 6–7 and 14–15 Trajectory Five trajectories: T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5;T1 : 25, 664 conformations; T2 : 30, 075 conformations;T3 : 19, 649 conformations; T4 : 25, 263 conformations;T5 : 25, 664 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 50, 572 unique maximally connected bit-patterns were identified from all conformations;Average number of bit-patterns per conformation is 4;Bit-patterns are further classified into 12 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 ≥ 10 conformations;
