Are Long-Range Structural Correlations Behind the Aggregration Phenomena of Polyglutamine Diseases?
Figure 5
Selected extended conformations of
peptides. Here, we give (a) cartoon and (b) licorice-like representation of select conformations of the 
peptide with (
,
,
,
) 
and (
,
,
,
) 
strands. (a) The coloring is similar to Fig. 4 with yellow and green representing 
and 
strands respectively. We used a dihedral angle-based algorithm to detect the 
strands and for other secondary structures in these plots we used STRIDE [60] distributed with VMD [61]. (b) The residues involved in (
) 
-hairpin, (
) isolated 
-strand, (
) 
-harpin, and (i
) isolated 
-strand are highlighted. The rest of residues are grey and all the side chains are represented by thin lines.
