A New Functional Model for Prediction of Chaperone Activity of the Recombinant M. tb Acr (α-Crystallin) Using Insulin as Substrate

Table 7

Comparison of secondary structures of (H) and (G) samples at 37°C from PSIPRED. The N-terminal sequence of Acr has been used to calculate the theoretical secondary structure followed by comparison with CD data of (H) and (G) samples as shown in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.

Amino acids (162)	α-Helices	β-Sheets	Coils and turns
Theoretical (by PSIPRED)	3%	36%	61%
(G) samples	9.6%	45.5%	44.9%
(H) samples	26%	2.5%	71.5%
