Correlation between alpha helix content of protein structure and other protein characteristics. The alpha helix content of 80 protein structures was compared to the frequency of other major structural elements (A,B), the frequency of individual amino acids (C) and the frequency of charged and hydrophobic residues (D,E). (A) The correlation between helix (H), beta sheet (S) and turn (T); (B) the proportions between the sum of helices (SH), beta strands (SS), turns (ST) and all other structural elements (TO). (D) The proportion between the sums of apolar (S_Ap), polar (S_Pol), negatively charged (S_Neg) and positively charged (S_Poz) amino acids. (E) The linear regression analysis correlations between helix content and the percentages of polar+apolar (Polarity) and positively+negatively charged (Charge) residues.
