Propensity of inter-chain contact number in different intermediates. Es: intermediate with more than six β-sheet residues on both N-terminal (residue 8–17) and C-terminal region (residue 28–35); En: intermediate with more than six β-sheet residues on the N-terminal region; Ec: intermediate with more than six β-sheet residues on C-terminal region; H: intermediate with more than eight α-helical residues on both chains. Two inter-chain residues were defined to be contact if the distance between any heavy atoms on these residues is less than 4.5 Å. The error bars are corresponding the deviations of the propensity values.
