a)  The bending angles were manually determined from the 2D bending graphs using the following base point pairs for the definition of the straight N-terminal parts:

b) In some cases the literature data were not directly taken form the correspoding structure paper but from Snook et al., Structure 1998, 6, 783-792, where bending angles for several structures are compiled.

c)  In all cases the maximum perpenedicular distances and displacements were found for the C-termini.

d)  For chain B of 1JOH no straight-line axis could be determined.

e)  For the NMR structures 1IH9 and 1DLZ with 20 models the data for the most and least strongly bent models as well as of the model shown in 2D bending summary graph are given. The straight N-terminal part is identical for all models.
