✦ Synopsis

OBSCUHINE, a minor alkaloid occurring in several species of Lycopodium, including L. obscurum L. var. dendroideum, was first isolated in 1942 by Manske and Marionl. Later2, it was shown that obscurine is actually a mixture of two bases, a-obscurine (C17H260N2) and S-obscurine (C17H240N2). We now wish to report evidence which allows us to propose complete structures for these two alkaloids. Analytical results have confirmed the molecular formulas and have shown that, contrary to a previous report2, both a-and 1 2 R. H. F. Manske and L. Marion, Canad. J. Research B. 20, 87 (1942).

We present a fully automatic structural classification of supersecondary structure units, consisting of two hydrogenbonded ␤ strands, preceded or followed by an ␣ helix. The classification is performed on the spatial arrangement of the secondary structure elements, irrespective of the length and con
