An analysis of the amino acid distributions at 15 positions, viz., NЉ, NЈ, Ncap, N1, N2, N3, N4, Mid, C4, C3, C2, C1, Ccap, CЈ, and CЉ in 1,131 ␣-helices reveals that each position has its own unique characteristics. In general, natural helix sequences optimize by identifying the residues to be avoi

## Abstract The x‐ray crystal structures of 19 selected proteins are examined empirically for correlations between the amino acid sequence and long‐range, __tertiary__ conformation. There is clear evidence for preferential associations of certain types of amino acids, particularly among the hydroph
## Abstract We prepared a set of about 2000 α‐helices from a relational database of high‐resolution three‐dimensional structures of globular proteins, and identified additional main chain __i__ ← __i__+3 hydrogen bonds at the ends of the helices (i.e., where the hydrogen bonding potential is not fu
