  2. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    The Dictionary of Protein Secondary Structure, in short DSSP, is commonly used to describe the protein secondary structure with single letter codes. The secondary structure is assigned based on hydrogen bonding patterns as those initially proposed by Pauling et al. in 1951 (before any protein structure had ever been experimentally determined ...

  3. DSSP (algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSSP_(algorithm)

    The DSSP algorithm is the standard method for assigning secondary structure to the amino acids of a protein, given the atomic-resolution coordinates of the protein. The abbreviation is only mentioned once in the 1983 paper describing this algorithm, [2] where it is the name of the Pascal program that implements the algorithm Define Secondary Structure of Proteins.

  4. Protein structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure

    Secondary structure refers to highly regular local sub-structures on the actual polypeptide backbone chain. Two main types of secondary structure, the α-helix and the β-strand or β-sheets, were suggested in 1951 by Linus Pauling. [5] These secondary structures are defined by patterns of hydrogen bonds between the

  5. Protein structure prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure_prediction

    Secondary structure prediction is a set of techniques in bioinformatics that aim to predict the local secondary structures of proteins based only on knowledge of their amino acid sequence. For proteins, a prediction consists of assigning regions of the amino acid sequence as likely alpha helices , beta strands (often termed extended ...

  7. Protein folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding

    Formation of a secondary structure is the first step in the folding process that a protein takes to assume its native structure. Characteristic of secondary structure are the structures known as alpha helices and beta sheets that fold rapidly because they are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, as was first characterized by Linus ...

  8. Beta sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_sheet

    The beta sheet (β-sheet, also β-pleated sheet) is a common motif of the regular protein secondary structure. Beta sheets consist of beta strands (β-strands) connected laterally by at least two or three backbone hydrogen bonds, forming a generally twisted, pleated sheet.
