[i] The basic functional distribution of the superfamilies in single- and multi-domain proteins and the functional distribution of multi-domain combinations are shown. The first row lists the number of scop superfamilies that were associated only with enzymatic function in each category. The second row lists the number associated with only nonenzymatic functions, and the third row indicates the number of superfamilies that were associated with both types of function. Altogether, we characterized 160 + 55 = 215 single-domain and 191 + 119 = 310 multi-domain superfamilies, 70 of which overlapped in the two categories.
