These secondary structure predictions have been pre-loaded into this freestyle puzzle.

Here is the sequence logo predicted by the SAM server.

H = helix
E = sheet
C = loop (or coil)

The taller the letter at each position, the higher the probability of that specific secondary structure for that amino acid.

For example, the amino acid Leucine at residue 59 is highly predicted to be part of a helix. However, the Valine at residue 80 is highly predicted to be in a sheet or loop region (but not a helix).
