title: [A new type of secondary structure: mobile conformation of polypeptide chain. Data bank for protein structures].
abstract: As a result of statistical analysis of Protein Data Bank a new type of secondary structure was found in globular proteins. It is mobile (M) conformation, characterised by noncooperative hydration and the increased dynamical properties of the chain. Percentage distribution of amino acid residues between the main secondary structure types is 42.7% for alpha-helix, 19.6% for beta-structure and 19.1% for M-conformation. The most frequently occurring amino acids for M-conformation are proline, cysteine and serine. Fragments of mobile conformation seem to play a major part in local and domain dynamics of protein globule.
