A. CHARGE CLUSTERS.

B. HIGH SCORING (UN)CHARGED SEGMENTS. High scoring negative charge segments: High scoring mixed charge segments:
    score= 1.00 frequency= 0.217 ( KEDR )
    score= 0.00 frequency= 0.000 ( BZX )
    score= -1.00 frequency= 0.783 ( LAGSVTIPNFQYHMCW )
    Minimal length of displayed segments set to: 20
    M_0.01= 6.07 (cv= 3.19, lambda= 1.28520, k= 0.40993, x= 2.89;90% confidence interval for segment length: 11 +- 9) M_0.05= 4.80 (x= 1.62)
    # of segments (>=20 residues) exceeding M_0.05: none
High scoring uncharged segments:
    score= 1.00 frequency= 0.783 ( LAGSVTIPNFQYHMCW )
    score= 0.00 frequency= 0.000 ( BZX )
    score= -8.00 frequency= 0.217 ( KEDR )
    M_0.01= 32.53 (cv= 20.56, lambda= 0.19916, k= 0.10900, x= 11.97; 90% confidence interval for segment length: 54 +- 44) M_0.05= 24.34 (x= 3.79)
    # of segments (>=20 residues) exceeding M_0.05: none

C. CHARGE RUNS AND PATTERNS.

    lmin2 7 | 4 | 8 | 39 | 13 | 8 | 14 | 15 | 9 | 16 |
There are no charge runs or patterns exceeding the given minimal lengths.
    Run count statistics:
    + runs >= 3: 0
    - runs >= 3: 0
    0 runs >= 20: 0
