Reconstruction of Protein Backbones from the BriX Collection of Canonical Protein Fragments
Figure 1
Effect of varying RMSD on structural variation within a class.
The plot shows the fragment content of equivalent BriX classes of length 7 created with fixed RMSD thresholds from 0.6 to 1 Angstrom. The increase in structural variation with higher RMSD thresholds is not uniformly distributed over all positions; there is a clear tendency towards the terminal positions (both carboxy- and amino-terminal), resulting in a fan-like arrangement.
