Correspondence analysis between the eight loop-types (defined according the length and the flanking regions of the loops) and the structural words in W set ≥30 . αα s , αβ s , βα s , ββ s correspond to the four different short-loop-types according to the flanking regions, and αα l , αβ l , βα l , ββ l correspond to the four different long-loop-types according to the flanking regions. αα: loops linking two α-helices, αβ: loops linking an α-helix and a β-strand, βα: loops linking a β-strand and an α-helix, ββ: loops linking two β-strands. The two first axes account for 36% + 26% = 62% of the variance. a) Plot of the eight loop types, b) Plot of W set≥30 words colored according to their statistical exceptionality: red = OR w , gray = NS w , blue = UR w .
