Are Long-Range Structural Correlations Behind the Aggregration Phenomena of Polyglutamine Diseases?
Figure 3
Helical, turn and coil content of selected polyQ peptides.
Here, given are the contents (as a percentage) of individual glutamine residues found in the following conformations: (a,b) helical (,
) (c,d) turn (H-bonded,bend) (e,f) coil. These percentages are plotted against the Glu residue numbers for (a,c,e)
[red],
[blue] and (b,d,f)
[red],
[blue]. These percentages are obtained from the DSSP [58], [59] analysis code.
