Competing Interests

I have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Our co-author Ruth Nussinov serves as the editor-in-chief for this journal. Additionally, our corresponding author Ozlem Keskin serves as a Guest Associate Editor for this journal. This does not alter our adherence to all the PLOS Comp Biol policies on sharing data and materials. All other authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
