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 Valines at residues 7 & 68 are highly predicted to be part of a helix. However, the Valines at residues 31, 35, 43, 52, 88, 97, 101 & 120 are highly predicted to be in a sheet.

this one is much smoother to move around and is wiggling nicely (in my opinion of course)

That is exactly why we posted this puzzle and this is what we are trying to find out!
