Аннотация:A method was designed to describe the helical structures of various levels of organization in proteins.The method makes it possible to characterize the sign of chirality/helicity and to quantify α-helices,310-helices, and coiled-coil structures. The data is important for developing the earlier concept of sign-alternatingchiral hierarchies of nucleic acid and protein structures. A sufficient condition for the method is therelative location of α-carbons in the helix. With this condition satisfied, the amount of information to be processedcan be reduced by one order of magnitude. The method thus offers a clear benefit for processing largedata sets.
