I agree with Dale's quibble. It applies both to my suggestion to the PDB and to the mmCIF dictionary from which the phrase was copied. -- HJB --- Forwarded mail from mmciflist@ndbdev.rutgers.edu >From mmciflist@ndbdev.rutgers.edu Fri Jul 12 09:14:07 1996 Date: Fri, 12 Jul 1996 07:41:01 -0400 >From: Dale Tronrud <DALE@osmium.uoregon.edu> To: yaya@aip.org Subject: Re: Helix Classification yaya@aip.org (herbert_bernstein) writes: >Could the PDB please consider adding the following additional HELIX >types to the HELIX class field (columns 39-40) of the HELIX record, snip... snip... snip... >Suggested additional classifications: > > 11. helix with handedness and type not specified (protein) > 12. helix with handedness and type that do not > conform to an accepted category (protein) > 13. right-handed helix with type not specified (protein) > 14. right-handed helix with type that does not > conform to an accepted category (protein) snip... snip... snip...
