  1. MI and MIc are run on the HK-RR MSA provided by Hamer et al.[12]. Each surface, ungapped DHp residue column, having a column entropy greater than 0, is assigned the maximum score it achieves when paired with the RR residue columns. These DHp residues are then ranked according to score and the number of true contact residues amongst the top nine scores are recorded for MI and MIc respectively. The same steps are applied to residues in the RR and the number of true contact residues in the top 24 scores are counted for MI and MIc. The p-value refers to the probability of seeing a number this large or larger under the corresponding Binomial model.
