Distribution of the experimentally observed average disorder of proteins in complexes of various sizes. Averages of disorder were determined for those E. coli complexes, in which at least one component had an at least 90% sequence identity with a PDB chain whose length differed at most by 50 amino acids. Magenta – singular proteins, cyan – complexes size 2–4, orange – complexes size 5–10, blue – complexes size 11–100. The average disorder of the complexes was calculated by averaging the observed disorder of the matching PDB-s only.
