Prediction structure type for human leukocyte interferon subtype A from circular dichroism.
Vacuum UV circular dichroism studies were carried out on human leukocyte interferon subtype A. The secondary structure analysis for the CD spectrum shows 59% alpha-helix, 16% antiparallel beta-sheet, no parallel beta-sheet, 18% beta-turns and 13% other structures. The analysis of the CD features for the prediction of tertiary structural class reveals that it is an all-alpha type protein.
