Orientations of beta-strand traces and near maximum twist

Published: 20 September 2014 Publication History

Abstract

A β-sheet is composed of multiple β-strands that are stabilized by inter-strand hydrogen bonds. It has been discovered that a β-sheet is right-handed twisted. We have developed a geometrical method to investigate the relationship between the twist of a β-sheet and the orientations of β-strand traces. The results from forty-one β-sheets suggest that the set of β-traces that has similar orientations as those in the observed set of β-traces has near maximum twist angle AMT among other sets with various orientations.
