Figure 4

Relation between stability (measured by the SSS ) and motif enrichment (measured by Normalized Z-Score (NZS) ). Motifs are first sorted according to density classes (separated by red dashed lines), groups of motifs having an equal number of edges. Inside each density class, motifs are sorted by descending SSS. The first class consists of motifs with 2 edges, the last class of the fully connected motif with 6 edges (see Supplementary Figure 9(a) for the 13 motifs). Motifs that are infinitely enriched, resulting from a division by zero in (4), are represented by a red diamond at . Where neither a green bar nor a red diamond can be seen, the NZS is very close to zero. The title of each figure shows the Correlation between NZS and SSS (CNS), a quantitative measure for the enrichment of structurally stable motifs. (a) Example of a result from [5], organism: S. cerevisiae. (b) Method A from Table 1 on the metabolic network of [11]. (c) Method B from Table 1 on the metabolic network of [11].
