Predicting coiled-coil regions in proteins

A Lupas. Curr Opin Struct Biol. 1997 Jun.

Abstract

The past several years have seen significant advances in our ability to recognize coiled coils from protein sequences and model their structures. New methods include a detection program based on pairwise residue correlations, a program that distinguishes two-stranded from three-stranded coiled coils and a routine for modelling the coordinates of the core residues in coiled coils. Several widely noted predictions, among them those for heterotrimeric G proteins and for cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, have been confirmed by crystal structures, and several new predictions have been made, including a model for the still hypothetical right-handed coiled coil.
