A geometric representation of alpha-polypeptide chains revisited.
The geometric representation by Abdulnur & Laki (1983) of the set of amino-acid residues in alpha-polypeptide chains is essentially the same as the one put forward by Crick 30 years ago. An analysis of the lattice structure or spiral patterns involved reveals, in the light of other such patterns observed in nature, that the accuracy of the representation can be improved, and suggestions are made on what it should be, thus opening the way for new observations and measurements.
