Figure 2From: Influence of degree correlations on network structure and stability in protein-protein interaction networksNumber of connected components. For the PPI networks and the negatively correlated, rewired and positively correlated reference networks (see methods), the number of connected components is illustrated. Since networks sizes and consequently also the number of connected components vary greatly between networks, numbers were scaled by dividing by the original network size. The highest number of connected components are always observed in the positively correlated networks and the lowest number in the negatively correlated ones.Back to article page
