  1. The observed frequencies of occurrence of the different amino acid residues were transformed into the corresponding statistical potentials using the equation described in Methods. Columns 2 and 3 show the calculated odds-ratio for the complete prion and the statistical potentials corresponding to the odds-ratios of PrD respectively (LOr). Columns 4 and 5 contain the ratio and log-odds obtained experimentally by means of a random mutagenesis assay with the library 1, as described in the paper by Toombs et al. [30].
