## Abstract Average helical twists were calculated by the method of Sugeta and Miyazawa (Biopolymers 1967, 5, 673โ679) for all of the collagen model peptides analyzed to date. Calculation of the helical twists of all triplets in each peptide strand provided novel insights for several model peptides
Traditional statistical models for the prediction of peptide helicity are written in terms of the mean fractional helicity of the peptide residues. Far ultraviolet circular dichroic measurements of peptide solutions are converted to mean fractional helicity by partitioning the observed ellipticity b
