Table 2. Identifying helices with unique properties.
Property based on which the sorting is done is either the Hydrophobic moment (HM) and the percentage of negative (NEG) or positive residues (POS). HM: Hydrophobic moment, RPNR: Ratio of the positive to the negative residues, Len: length of the helix, NCH: number of charged residues. GP: glycoprotein from Ebola, VP24: Membrane-associated protein from Ebola, VP35: Polymerase cofactor.
