I am working on making some cartoon-ribbon figures and I wonder if there is any consensus on how to represent secondary structures other than alpha-helices and beta-sheets. My particular protein has a couple of helices that DSSP assigns as 310-Helices. Do I just stick HELIX records in the pdb for these and call it good?
Does anyone do anything special for H-bonded turns? Or perhaps protein cartoons are just a matter of personal taste? Thanks Russell Poyner
