Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the β-sheets are parallel or anti-parallel.

Introduction: The secondary structure of protein contains α-Helices and β-Sheets. Beta sheets are the secondary structure of proteins. There are two types of beta sheets; the parallel and anti-parallel.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether there is any knot in the polypeptide chain.

Introduction: Proteins are biological macromolecules consisting of polypeptide chains. Amino acids serve as the building blocks of the polypeptides.
