The number of nodes represent the total number of molecules involved; the number
of edges represents the total number of interactions; the clustering coefficient is calculated as CI=2nI/k(k–1), where nI is the number of links connecting the kI neighbours of node I to each other; the network diameter is the largest distance between two nodes; the Averaged n° neighbours represents the mean number of connections of each node; the Char. path length gives the expected distance between two connected nodes. |
