Calculating Contact Order
From Foldeomics Wiki
NOTE: The Contact Order referred to in PFD is the absolute contact order, not the relative contact order.
[edit]
Contact Order (Absolute)
Contact Order (CO) is defined as the average sequence separation between contacting residues in the native state.
Absolute contact orders can be calculated using David Baker's Contact Order Calculator.
