Figure 3. Correlation of ΔΔASA[HP] (changes in hydrophobic surface area exposed upon denaturation) with ΔΔG for the mutant proteins with empty cavities (a) and with solvated cavities (b). The mutants with solvated cavities are shown as open symbols and labeled. The mutants of the type I are represented by black filled up-triangles (with empty cavity). The black continuous line shows the linear regression of the type I mutants with empty cavity (black filled up-triangles). The mutants of the type II are represented by blue filled (with empty cavity) and open (with solvated cavity) circles. The blue broken line shows the linear regression of the type II mutants with solvated cavity (blue open circles). The mutants of the type III are represented by red filled (with empty cavity) and open (with solvated cavity) squares. The red continuous line shows the linear regression of the type III mutants with empty cavity (red filled squares). The red broken line is drawn with reference to the red continuous line. The ASA values were calculated using the procedure of [Connolly 1993].
