Abstract :
Analysis of secondary structures of proteins is carried out when the percent identity between two sequences fall below 33%. The world wide web hosts many programs that are able to recognize the number of residues that appear in secondary structural elements such as alpha helices, beta strands etc, but the output of such programs is enormous. However, none of the programs are able to reproduce experimental values and are accurate up to a maximum of 70-80%. Hence in this scenario, a java based program was written that takes the outputs of DSSP (Dictionary of secondary structure of proteins) and GOR (Garnier, Osguthorpe and Robson) programs and returns the number of states and conditions when the state was true. The program runs fast and reliable when the outputs of such programs are lengthy and unable to read.
