Distance spread is larger in 2K39 than in 6V5D for 163 of 167 tested 1UBQ contacts.
For 167 C-alpha residue pairs selected by a fixed 1UBQ crystal reference, the 2K39 ubiquitin ensemble had larger population distance SD than the 6V5D ensemble for 163 pairs. The median pairwise SD ratio was 1.7200498882688864, while their majority contact graphs shared 164 of 172 contacts (Jaccard index 0.9534883720930233). This comparison uses archived PDB revisions and equal weights for deposited models; it measures coordinate spread, not motion in solution or ensemble quality. Model construction, shared source information, coordinate uncertainty, and pair dependence limit interpretation. No hypothesis test, biological confidence interval, or held-out solution test was performed.

[Legacy relation: reproduces] New distance code reproduced the primary majority, union, invariant, and variable contact counts for four entries. It also reproduced the 2K39 versus 6V5D graph intersection of 164 and union of 172. This comparison motivated the fixed-contact distance-spread question.

- The 2K39 ensemble has greater C-alpha distance spread for 163 of 167 selected 1UBQ contacts
[Legacy relation: reproduces] New Python code gives the same result for 167 fixed 1UBQ contacts. All 2,292 reference comparisons are within the stated tolerance. The checks include ten contact settings, contact summaries, and 292 single-model deletions. They do not include 1D3Z, alignment results, or figures.
