Figure 3.

Difference in frequency of each amino acid type on the inner cavity surface between psychrophilic and the mesophilic paired proteins. Psychrophilic enzymes have a larger number of acidic side chains on the inner surface of a cavity (p < 0.01). Mesophilic enzymes have a larger number of hydrophobic residues (p < 0.01).
