binations of secondary structures (Eﬁmov, 1991a; Eﬁmov, 1991b; Eﬁmov, 1987)

commonly referred to as isuper-secondary structure.

2.4 Packed layers

The simplicity of having eﬀectively only two secondary structures is that there

are only three (pairwise) combinations of them that can be used to construct

proteins; so giving the three major structural classes: 1) α with α,2)α with

β and 3) β with βi (Levitt and Chothia, 1976). (For detailed analysis of each

class, see: 1) Chothia et al. (1981), Lesk and Chothia (1980); 2) Cohen et al.

(1981), Chothia and Janin (1981), Chothia and Janin (1982), and 3) Cohen et al.

(1982), With the main-chain atoms tied-up in secondary structure, a core can

be constructed using any mixture of α or β building blocks. Incorporation of a

β-sheet, however, imposes a long-range constraint across the structure. The β-

sheet has free hydrogen-bonds on its two edges, which consequently prevents the

sheet from terminating in the hydrophobic core. This divides the core into two

and, if considered more generally, imposes a layered structure onto the further

arrangement of secondary structures in the protein. (See Figure 3 for examples).

(See both Chothia and Finkelstein (1990) and Finkelstein and Ptitsyn (1987) for

further consideration of protein structure along these lines.)

2.4.1 All-α proteins

The all-α protein class is dominated by small folds, many of which form a sim-

ple bundle with helices running up then down (Figure 3(b)). The interactions

between helices are not discrete (in the way that hydrogen bonds in a β-sheet

are either there or not) which makes their classiﬁcation more diﬃcult (Lesk and

Chothia, 1980). Set against this, however, the size of the α-helix (which is gener-

ally larger than a β-strand) gives more interatomic contacts with its neighbours

(relative to the a β-strand) allowing interactions to be more clearly deﬁned. (Fig-

ure 3(b)).

2.4.2 All-β proteins

The all-β proteins are often characterised by the number of β-sheets in the struc-

tureandthenumberanddirectionofβ-strands in the sheet. This leads to a fairly

rigid classiﬁcation scheme (Richardson, 1977) which can be sensitive to the exact

deﬁnition of hydrogen-bonds and β-strands. Being less rigid than an α-helix,

the β-sheets can be relatively distorted — often with diﬀering degrees of twist

of fragmented or extra strands on the edges of the sheet. (Figure 3(a)). Various

patterns can be identiﬁed in the arrangement of the β-strands, often giving rise

to the identiﬁcation of recurring motifs (Hutchinson and Thornton, 1993).

analysis.)

A barrel can also be formed with the β-strands running in the orthogonal

direction (leaving free hydrogen-bonds on the open ends of the barrel). This

structure, however, completely dictates the course of the protein chain (as a sim-

ple helix) giving little scope for evolutionary exploitation of the fold for diﬀerent

functions. (See Chothia and Murzin (1993) for some examples). This type of

structure is associated more with structural (ﬁbrous) proteins.

2.6 Protein Topology

The path of the chain through the various layers of packed secondary structures

described above (sometimes referred to as frameworks or architectures) is referred

to as the fold of the chain. As this entails various degrees of cross-linking through

hydrogen-bonds, it is also possible to, loosely, view it from a topological perspec-

tive. This topic will be returned to in detail in Part III but, ﬁrstly, a few basic

aspects will be considered here which are relevant to the later discussions. (See

Ptitsyn and Finkelstein (1980) for a general review.) The course of the chain

through the secondary structure frameworks is largely unrestricted. Two con-

straints, however, are well observed. The strongest is that two loops cannot cross

on the same face between layers (Ptitsyn and Finkelstein, 1980)

. The source

of this constraint is a simple consequence of the bulk of the polypeptide chain:

if two loops cross, one will be buried by the other which will be energetically

unfavourable unless the buried loop can satisfy its main-chain hydrogen-bonds.

Having done this however, the loop is now probably a secondary structure and

so the rule that loops do not cross is preserved.

The second strong constraint derives from the chiral nature of the central (α)

carbon in each residue. This favours a particular (right) handedness for the α-

helix and a corresponding twist to the β-sheet which is left-handed when viewed

along the chain direction. Together, these local chiralities result in a strong

preference for connections between strands in the same sheet to be right-handed

(even when there is no α-helix involved). The few exceptions to this rule are seen

when the chain meanders to a remote part of the structure (another domain)

and the ‘context’ of the local constraint is lost (Sternberg and Thornton, 1977b)

(Figure 6). Some chiral eﬀect are also detected in the ββα and αββ arrangements

(Kajva, 1992) and in the packing of four α-helices (Weber and Salemme, 1980;

Presnell and Cohen, 1989).

2.7 Domain structure

Large hydrophobic cores are not found in globular proteins, probably because of

limitations in the folding kinetics and stability. Single compact units of more

An exception has been found in the protein with PDB code 2csmA.
