Identify secondary structure and topologyΒΆ

Sketch a topology diagram on paper (use open structure for analysis):

  • number helices H1 - H8 (ignore short < 4 res, count all helices as helix, alpha, pi, 3-10)

  • sheets A, B, C, number strands SA1-SA5, SB1-3, SC1-2

  • start with central b-sheet

  • locate N-terminus (resid 1 and name CA, color blue, VDW) and C terminus

    Note

    You can do ranges: resid 1 to 5 or multiple ranges: resid 1 to 5 20 to 50.

    You can use boolean operators and, or, not. See selections in the user manual for details.

  • draw connections between secondary elements in your topology diagram and label secondary structure elements.
