1 Complementarity is calculated as the Euclidean distance between each vector pair describing the results within Table 2, meaning each vector has 34 dimensions. Each dimension is simply a binary possibility (1 = predicted functional site; 0 = not predicted functional site). The values reported are normalized such that two completely orthogonal vectors will have a distance of one; two vectors that are absolutely the same will have a distance of 0.00, whereas two completely orthogonal vectors will have a distance of 1.00. The average value and standard deviation across the matrix are 0.66 and 0.09, respectively, which corresponds to 15.0 and 4.1 differences.
