  1. aThe combination of secondary structures with >10 occurrence are shown. There is no occurrence of isolated AAAA and AAAa types of π-HB turns immediately after the α-helix.
  2. bAccording to DSSP notation E: β-strand, T: hydrogen-bonded turn, B: isolated β-bridge, S: bend and we represent non-regular structure by C.
  3. cBased on the number observed with the given combination of secondary structures (given in the previous column) relative the total number in the class.
