(A) Predicted aspect ratio αβ=0.5 for proteins where half of their residues are on the surface. (B) A 400 residue ellipsoidal protein can accommodate deletions(−)/insertions(+) of residues at the surface (triangles), deletions(−)/insertions(+) in the core (circles), and rearrangements from surface-to-core(−)/core-to-surface+ (diamonds) by changing aspect ratio.
