Abstract excerpt
A systematic study of homologous beta-hairpins in proteins of known structure reveals how insertions and deletions (herein known as indels) in the sequence are accommodated. The study was made for 12 protein families comprising 50 different structures, in which there were 49 independent hairpins. Each hairpin was classified according to its loop length and hydrogen bonding pattern. Most indels were found to occur...
