Figure 7 Similarity index (γ; Eq. 19) between MD and coarse-grained important spaces in DMD (light gray) and BD (gray) simulations for the set of proteins. The important space is defined for each protein as (top) the minimum number of eigenvectors required to explain 90% of variance, and (bottom) the first 50 eigenvectors were selected for all proteins.
