Abstract excerpt
α-Helices are peculiar atomic arrangements characterizing protein structures. Their occurrence can be used within crystallographic methods as minimal a priori information to drive the phasing process towards solution. Recently, brute-force methods have been developed which search for all possible positions of α-helices in the crystal cell by molecular replacement and explore all of them systematically. Knowing...
