Table 5 Summary of the statistical analysis of ExPa lengths

Network	No. of	ExPa length				L/R
	reactions	Avg	Max	Min	Most	Ratio(%)
TRN	2115	5	21	3	4	0.24
sACL	741	47	70	3	51	6.40
sMM	358	64	115	4	82	17.97
sTC	1276	31	34	26	32	2.43
sTL	7386	101	121	11	109	1.37

Abbreviations for subsystems: TRN, transcriptional regulation; sACL, amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; sMM, membrane and murein metabolism; sTC, transcription; sTL, translation. 'Most' represents the ExPa length with the highest frequency. L/R ratio is the ratio of average ExPa length to reaction amount.
