## Abstract Protein molecules exhibit varying degrees of flexibility throughout their three‐dimensional structures. Protein structural flexibility is often characterized by fluctuations in the Cartesian coordinate space. On the other hand, the protein backbone can be mostly defined by two torsion a
A new and more accurate method has been developed for predicting the backbone U-turn positions (where the chain reverses global direction) and the dominant secondary structure elements between U-turns in globular proteins. The current approach uses sequence-specific secondary structure propensities
## Abstract Accurate prediction of protein secondary structure is essential for accurate sequence alignment, three‐dimensional structure modeling, and function prediction. The accuracy of __ab initio__ secondary structure prediction from sequence, however, has only increased from around 77 to 80% o
