Scaling of the correction parameter λ₂ (BLOSUM62). The decay of λ₂ with system size shows approximately a power law near the logarithm-linear transition (two smallest gap costs). For this cases the fit to Eq. (19) is shown by a line (α = 10) and dots (α = 12). The lines of the remaining cases are guides to the eye conneting the data points.
