For a successful analysis of the relation between amino acid sequence and protein structure an unambiguous and physically meaningful definition of secondary structure is essential. A set of simple and physically motivated criteria for secondary structure was developed, programmed as a pattern-recognition process of H-bonded and geometrical features extracted from X-ray coordinates. Cooperative secondary structure is recognized as repeats of the elementary H-bonding patterns turn and bridge. Repeating turns are helices, repeating bridges are ladders, connected ladders are sheets. Geometric structure is defined in terms of the concepts torsion and curvature of differential geometry. Local chain chirality is the torsional handedness of 4 consecutive C.alpha. positions and is positive for right-handed helices and negative for ideal twisted .beta.-sheets. Curved pieces are defined as bends. Solvent exposure is given as the number of water molecules in possible contact with a residue. The end result is a compilation of the primary structure, including SS bonds, secondary structure and solvent exposure of 62 different globular proteins. The presentation is in linear form: strip graphs for an overall view and strip tables for the details of each of 10,925 residues. The dictionary is also available in computer-readable form for protein structure prediction work.
