Number of low-complexity (l-c) segments identified in individual proteins vs. protein length for Plasmodium falciparumchromosomes 2 (open circles) and 3 (solid circles). Only a relatively small number of proteins (24 out of 205 on chromosome 2 and 13 out of 215 on chromosome 3), all shorter than ∼500 amino acids, appear to be entirely complex.
