Index Pi helix

A pi helix (or π-helix) is a type of secondary structure found in proteins. [1]

Alpha helix

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a righthand-spiral conformation (i.e. helix) in which every backbone N−H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C.

DSSP (hydrogen bond estimation 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.

Lifson–Roig model

In polymer science, the Lifson–Roig model is a helix-coil transition model applied to the alpha helix-random coil transition of polypeptides; it is a refinement of the Zimm-Bragg model that recognizes that a polypeptide alpha helix is only stabilized by a hydrogen bond only once three consecutive residues have adopted the helical conformation.

Polyproline helix

A polyproline helix is a type of protein secondary structure which occurs in proteins comprising repeating proline residues.

Protein secondary structure

Protein secondary structure is the three dimensional form of local segments of proteins.

STRIDE

In protein structure, STRIDE (Structural identification) is an algorithm for the assignment of protein secondary structure elements given the atomic coordinates of the protein, as defined by X-ray crystallography, protein NMR, or another protein structure determination method.

310 helix

A 310 helix is a type of secondary structure found in proteins and polypeptides.
