During
the
past
fifteen
years we
have been
attacking the problem
of the
structure
of
proteins
in
several
ways.
One
of
these
ways
is
the complete
and
accurate
determination
of
the crystal
structure of amino
acids,
pep-tides,
and other
simple substances related
to
proteins,
in order that
infor-mation about
interatomic
distances,
bond angles,
and
other configurational
parameters
might
be
obtained
that
would permit
the
reliable
prediction of
reasonable
configurations
for
the
polypeptide
chain.
We
have now
used
this
information
to
construct
two
reasonable
hydrogen-bonded
helical
con-figurations
for the
polypeptide chain;
wte think
that
it is
likely
that
these
configurations
constitute
an
important
part
of the structure of both fibrous
and
globular proteins,
as
well
as
of
synthetic polypeptides.

equivalent (except for the differences in the side chain R). An amino acid
residue (other than glycine) has no symmetry elements. The general
oper-ation of conversion of one residue of a single chain into a second residue
equivalent to the first is accordingly a rotation about an axis accompanied by translation along the axis. Hence the only configurations for a chain
compatible with our postulate of equivalence of the residues are helical configurations. For rotational angle 1800 the helical configurations may
degenerate to a simple chain with all of the principal atoms, C, C' (the
carbonylcarbon), N, and 0, in thesameplane.
We assume that, because of the resonance of the double bond between
the carbon-oxygen and carbon-nitrogen positions, the configuration of each
residue >N-C6 is planar. This structural feature has been
verified for each of the amides that
IZi.23 we have studied. Moreover, the
resonance theory is now so well CV/ grounded and its experimental
sub-1o stantiation so extensive that there H N 120° can be no doubt whatever about its
120O application to the amide group.
The observed C-N distance, 1.32
io
C° H
RiA,
corresponds to nearly 50 per centdouble-bond character, and we may
conclude that rotation by as much
0
as
100
from the planar configurationwould result in instability by about 1 kcal. mole-'. The interatomic
N H distances and bond angles within the residue are assumed to have the
values shown in figure 1. These (j+Hc values have been formulated2 by
consideration of the experimental
values found in thecrystal structure FIGURE 1 studies of DL-alanine,3 L-threonine,4
Dimensions of the polypeptide chain. N-acetylglycine5, and ,-glycylgly-cine6 that have been made in our
Laboratories. It is further assumed that each nitrogen atom forms a
hy-drogen bond with an oxygen atom of another residue, with the
nitrogen-oxygen distance equal to 2.72
A,
and that the vector from thenitrogen atomto the hydrogen-bonded oxygen atom lies not more than 300 from the N-H
direction. The energy of an N-H

acid residues are related differently to the structure when attached to one a carbon atom than when attached to the a carbon atom of an adjacent residue. The pleated-sheet configuration can accordingly be described
as involving only one kind of glycine residue, in case that it were to be
as-sumed by a polyglycine, but two kinds of residues for all optically active
amino-acid polymers. These two kinds differ in that, for the L configura-tion, a residue of one kind points its ,(carbon atom in the C=O direction,

Homologous proteins have regionswhich retain the same
gen-eral fold and regions where the folds differ. For pairs of
distantly related proteins (residue identity --20%), the regions
with the same fold may comprise less than half ofeach mol-ecule. The regions with thesame general fold differ in
struc-ture by amounts that increase as the amino acid sequences
diverge. The root mean square deviation in the positions of
the main chain atoms, A, is relatedto the fraction of mutated residues, H, by the expression: A(A) = 0.40 el87H.
Key words: evolution/protein homology/model building
Introduction
The comparative analysis of the structures of related proteins can
reveal the effects of the amino acid sequence changes that have occurred during evolution (Perutz et al., 1965). Previous work
on individual protein families has shown thatmutations, insertions
and deletions produce changes in three-dimensional structure
(Almassy and Dickerson, 1978; Lesk and Chothia, 1980, 1982,
1986; Greer, 1981; Chothia and Lesk, 1982, 1984; Read etal.,
1984). Here we report a systematic comparisonofstructures from
eight different protein families. This shows that the extent of the structural changes is directly relatedto the extent ofthe sequence
changes.
In the work reported here we used the atomic coordinates of 25 proteins (Table I). All these structures have been determined
at high resolution (1.4-2.OA) and refined. The errors in their co-ordinates are 0.15-0.20A (see references given in Table I). The 25 proteins represent eight different protein families and
pro-vide 32 pairs of homologous structures.
Methods and Results
The conserved structural coresand the variable regions of
hom-ologous proteins
The structures ofhomologous proteins can be divided into those
regions in which the general fold of the polypeptide chains is
very similar and those where it is quite different. In comparing protein structures it is useful to separate the parts that have similar folds from those where the folds differ. We did this using the
following quantitative procedure: (i) the main-chain atoms of
major elements ofsecondary structure - helices or two adjacent
strands of 3-sheet - were individually superposed; and (ii) each superposition was then extended to include additional atoms at
both ends. The extension was continued as long as the deviations
in the positions of the atoms in the last residue included were
no greater than 3 A. This procedure defined the segments that
