Figure 1

The Structure Motivator console and interactive selection. The console of Structure Motivator is shown displaying φψ plots for the residues in one of the motifs from the embedded database (a type I or 2,3-αRαR β-turn). The elliptical selection tool has been used to encompass the βL region of position 4 after adjusting the y axis (ψ) to allow this. Points representing the conformation of all the residues in instances of β-turns corresponding to the selection have become highlighted in blue. The grey horizontal and vertical lines in positions 2 and 3 show the user the dihedral angle ranges used to define the embedded motif, and the cartoon indicates its hydrogen-bonding pattern. The grey lines may be switched off using the ‘Angle Constraints’ control on the console.
