Table 5 Helix geometry analyzed by HELANAL on the HRes set. Correction: assignments are corrected by shortening each helix by one residue at each terminus. %L: percentage of helices that are linear according to HELANAL. %C: percentage of helices that are curved according to HELANAL. %K: percentage of helices that are kinked according to HELANAL. N: number of helices submitted to HELANAL.
