ABSTRACT
One of the most important problems in computational biology is the assignment of the secondary structure of proteins, which has applications in medicine and biotechnology. DSSP, STRIDE, XTLsstr, PSEA, SEGNO, SECSTR, P-CURVE and KAKSI are some of the secondary structure assignment techniques that are now available. Using the DSSP assignment approach, we investigate which secondary structural elements are present in the ribovirus coiled-coil protein. Amino acid residues are used to generate the deviation parameter values, which are then normalized. With these parameters, the secondary structural element in the ribovirus coiled-coil protein can be predicted. The graphical representation shows the preferential and non-preferential amino acid residues in the secondary structural element of ribovirus coiled-coil protein.
