Side Panel settings
The settings in the Side Panel are a subset of the settings in the normal sequence view described in Sequence view. However, there are two additional groups of settings unique to the secondary structure 2D view: Secondary structure.
- Follow structure selection. This setting pertains to
the connection between the structures in the secondary structure
table (
). If this option is
checked, the structure displayed in the secondary structure 2D view
will follow the structure selections made in this table. See
Secondary structure
table for more information.
- Layout strategy. Specify the strategy used for the
layout of the structure. In addition to these strategies, you can
also modify the layout manually as explained in the next section.
- Auto. The layout is adjusted to minimize overlapping structure elements [Han et al., 1999]. This is the default setting (see figure 26.10).
- Proportional. Arc lengths are proportional to the number of residues (see figure 26.11). Nothing is done to prevent overlap.
- Even spread. Stems are spread evenly around loops as shown in figure 26.12.
Figure 26.10: Auto layout. Overlaps are minimized.
Figure 26.11: Proportional layout. Length of the arc is proportional to the number of residues in the arc.
