  • The solvent accessibility values of cat Fel dl residues equivalent to ABPαβγ ω+ residues were calculated from the structure coordinates using the DSSP algorithm (Kabsch and Sander 1983). Relative accessibility scores were partitioned into three states: buried (<9% relative accessibility), intermediate (9%-35% relative accessibility), and exposed (≥36% relative accessibility), as described previously (Rost and Sander 1994).
