Influence of proline residues on protein conformation

MacArthur, Malcolm W., Thornton, Janet M.·1991·Journal of Molecular Biology

Abstract

To study the influence of proline residues on three-dimensional structure, an analysis has been made of all proline residues and their local conformations extracted from the Brookhaven Protein Data bank. We have considered the conformation of the proline itself, the relative occurrence of cis and trans peptides preceding proline residues, the influence of proline on the conformation of the preceding residue and the conformations of various proline patterns (Pro-Pro, Pro-X-Pro, etc.). The results highlight the unique role of proline in determining local conformation.

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.
