  1. The number of occurrence is given in parentheses.
  2. a X indicates no characteristic β-turn. The conventional nomenclature of β-turns (viz., turn types I, II, VI, VIII, etc.) has been used. A multiple turn I-I-X indicates that there is a type I turn involving residues (i)-(i+3), another type I involving (i+1)-(i+4), and the turn type involving (i+2)-(i+5) does not conform to any β-turn type.
