DSSP
Assign secondary structure from atomic coordinates
DSSP assigns secondary structure elements to proteins from backbone hydrogen-bonding patterns computed from atomic coordinates. It labels each residue as helix, strand, turn or coil with per-residue accessibility. Foundational annotation step for structure comparison, datasets and composition analysis.
