Crystal-packing propensity. (a) Crystal-packing propensity of secondary structures. The crystal-packing propensity, i.e. the crystal-packing formation likelihood Lsi, of three secondary-structure classes is shown: i = 1 (helix), 2 (sheet), 3 (coil). See §§ 2.2 and 2.3 for definitions of Lsi and the three secondary-structure classes. (b) Crystal-packing propensity of amino acids depending on the secondary-structure class. The crystal-packing propensity, i.e. the crystal-packing formation likelihood Lsi, of 20 amino acids for three secondary-structure classes is shown: helix (magenta), sheet (yellow) and coil (cyan). |
