SS Type | SS Code | Mesostates | Description |
α-helix | H | O, P | A region is identified as helix if there are five or more contiguous residues in the mesostate set. |
β-strand | E | L, G, F, A, R, M | A region is defined as strand if there are three or more contiguous residues in the mesostate set. |
β-turn | T | OO, OP, OJ, PO, PP, PJ, JO, JP, JJ, Mo, Mp, Mj, Ro, Rp, Rj, oo, op, oj, po, pp, pj, jo, jp, jj, mO, mP, mJ, rO, rP, rJ | All dipeptide pairs which match a combination in the mesostate set are defined as a β-turn. |
PII-conf | P | M, R | Residues that have not already been classified as strand, yet match any of the elements in the mesotate set, are categorized as polyproline-II conformation. |
Coil | C | All | All other residues not classified as P, T, E, or H are assigned as coil. |
