Table 3 supplement. Description of secondary structure embellishments in
the mainly β 2-layer sandwiches (2.60), the α β 2-Layer
Sandwiches (3.30) and the 3-Layer (αβα) sandwiches (3.40).
The maximum number of inserted secondary structures identified in a
specified relative is given. Also, the number of secondary structures
embellishments (SSEs) α-helices and β-strands in the largest
continuous insertion, the total number of secondary structures, and the
total number of inserted secondary structures in that representative. The
last column contains a brief description of the insertions throughout the
peptide chain and how they are orientated in the three-dimensional
structure.

sequence identity bins.
Figure 2 supplement. Representatives from the superfamilies identified as
structurally conserved. 1) The pleckstrin homology domain from dynamin
(2dynA0). 2) Bovine odorant binding protein (1obpA0) with odorant ligand
bound from the lipocalin superfamily. 3) Ferredoxin from the 2Fe-2S
ferredoxxin superfamily. 4) Rabbit muscle phosphorylase kinase (1phk)
from the kinase superfamily. The whole protein is shown in figure (a) and
the structurally conserved domain is shown in (b) and 5) Cytochrome P450

superfamily (3.40.50.950) showing the extent of structural embellishments
in the superfamily. In mammalian hormone-sensitive lipase (1evq) and human
gastric lipase (1hlg) the embellished helices form an extra lobe at the
top of the beta-sheet.
Figure 8 supplement. Structural similarity measured by SSAP versus EC
conservation for all homologous pairs in CATH with EC classifications. EC4
indicates that all 4 levels in the EC classification are the same, EC3
indicates the first 3 levels are the same, less than 3 EC indicates that
one or two EC levels are the same.
