Table 1.

Secondary structure classifications

Class Definition Fragments
H1 Start of a helix CHH or EHH
H2 Within a helix HHH
H3 End of a helix HHC or HHE
E1 Start of a strand CEE or HEE
E2 Within a strand EEE
E3 End of a strand EEC or EEH
C1 Start of a coil HCC or ECC
C2 Within a coil CCC
C3 End of a coil CCH or CCE

The class code is given in column 1 with a longer description in column 2. The secondary structures that qualify for this class are given in column 3, where H is helix, C is coil and E is strand. The central residue/codon of the fragment is assigned to that class.
