Coiled-coils in α-helix-containing proteins: analysis of the residue types within the heptad repeat and the use of these data in the prediction of coiled-coils in other proteins
Abstract
Portions of the amino acid sequences of four representative proteins containing alpha-helices arranged in a coiled-coil rope-like structure have been analysed in terms of the preference of the residues or residue types for specific positions within the observed heptad repeats. The results clearly show an asymmetric distribution of residues which can be interpreted in terms of the size and shape of the residue, the geometry of the coiled-coil structure, or the facility with which interchain or intermolecular interactions may be made. The statistical data reported here may also be used to predict regions of coiled-coil structure in other proteins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
