Characterization of the folding degree of proteins
Open accessAbstract
Motivation: The characterization of the folding degree of chains is central to the elucidation of structure--function relationships in proteins. Here we present a new index for characterizing the folding degree of a (protein) chain. This index shows a range of features that are desirable for the study of the relation between structure and function in proteins. Results: A novel index characterizing the folding degree of (protein) chains is developed based on the spectral moments of a matrix representing the dihedral angles (φ, ω and ε) of the protein main chain. The proposed index is normalized to the chain size, is not correlated to the gyration radius of the backbone chain and is able to distinguish between structures for which the sum of the main-chain dihedral angles is identical. The index is well correlated to the percentages of helix and strand in proteins, shows a linear dependence with temperature changes, and is able to differentiate among protein families.

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.
