Table 5.

Secondary structure matrix. The occurrence of the secondary structure types of proline in the cis and trans conformation is shown. For the five defined secondary structure elements (bend, coil, helix, strand and turn) we analyzed the surrounding of the fixed proline in the mid-position. Rows indicate the secondary structure type with fixed secondary structure of the proline. Columns show the relative occurrences of the secondary structure at the 4 positions around proline. Bold face highlights the most probable secondary structure. For the cis peptide bond conformation of the central proline in helix and strand not enough entries could be collected from the PDB to reach significance.
