Supplementary Information on Experimental Constraints

The following experimental studies are used to derive to constraints for the base dataset:

·  Coiled coils from [37] are ordered according to DG values given in Table 1 (with updated values from some sequences obtained from [38], Table 1). DG differences of at least 0.8 are required.

·  Coiled coils from [43] are ordered according to DG values given in Table 2. DG differences of at least 0.8 are required.

·  Coiled coils from [19] are ordered according to DG values given Table 3. DG differences of at least 0.22 are required.

·  Coiled coils from [14] are ordered using Figure 2. Heterodimeric pairings AIV/BLL and ALL/BIV are not ordered with respect to each other.

·  Coiled coils from [44] are ordered according to Figure 6.

·  The GABAB coiled-coil heterodimer and corresponding homodimers given in [50] are ordered as given by Figures 1 and 2.

·  The six pairings between the fos, jun and GCN4 constructs given in [16] are ordered according to Figure 5. Additionally, all constructs given in Table 1 (except NFF, NJJ, NFJ, NFFout, NJJout, NFJout) are ordered with respect to each other using the given Tm's.

·  Coiled coils in [45] are ordered as given in Table 1, with the following constructs judged to be equally ranked: Met and Ile; Tyr, Phe and Val; Ala and Trp; His and Thr; Lys, Ser and Asp; Glu, Arg, and Gly.

·  Jun homodimer mutants in [52] are ordered by their relative transcriptional activity, as given in Figure 8a.

·  Fos homodimer mutants in [51] are ordered by their association constants, as given in Table 1.

·  Coiled coils pVNL, pV LN, and pV LQ in [46] are ordered by their Tm's, as given in Table 1.

·  GCN4 type D mutants from [49] are assumed to form dimeric coiled coils (given in Table 3).
