Analyzing the structure of proline-containing ?-helices
As described in this chapter, proline introduces kinks in transmembrane ?-helices. What are the molecular details of the kink, and why does it form? A good reference for this question is von Heijne, G., 1991. Proline kinks in transmembrane ?-helices. Journal of Molecular Biology 218:499-503. Another is Barlow, D. J., and Thornton, J. M., 1988. Helix geometry in proteins. Journal of Molecular Biology 201:601-619.
