Two proteins is a small sample, but it does give some indication of the nature of the T: segments (turns) reported in the summary and of the trace segments colored blue.
* Most T: segments in the summary contain one or two residues but a few can contain three or four residues.
* Most T: segments in the summary contain one or two residues but a few can contain three or four residues.
* T: segments with one residue can be interrupted in several ways:  DSSP is described as only identifying a turn as a n-turn if the turn is isolated, but in practice this does not always happen. If a T segment in the Summary is only one residue long, it can be identified as a β-turn by the presence of a hbond between ''i'' and ''i + 3''.
* The presence of a one-residue T: segments in the summary is not necessarily an indicator of a n-turn. Some of these single residues are found in the interior of a helix and are not colored blue (see analysis of Domain 2 of chain A Glycogen Phosphorylase). Even if the single residue is blue in the structure, the turn in which it is located is not isolated but part of a helix. These single turns can be at the end of the turn or interior.
* All two-residue T: segments indicate 3-turns. The turns are often part of an helix, as many as three of the four residues can have the color of the helix. Isolated 3-turns (β-turns) have two to three residues colored blue in the structure, rarely four. This coloration and the hbond bond between ''i'' and ''i'' + 3 can be used to identify β-turns.
* A β-turn can be nested in a 5-turn, and in the Summary this turn will show as a three residue segment. A β-turn nested in a 5-turn contains two hbonds. One located between ''i'' and ''i + 3'', and the other one is between ''i'' and ''i + 4''.
* A β-turn can be nested in a 5-turn, and in the Summary this turn will show as a three residue segment. A β-turn nested in a 5-turn contains two hbonds. One located between ''i'' and ''i + 3'', and the other one is between ''i'' and ''i + 4''.
* DSSP does not identify these classes of β-turns VIa1, VIa2, and VIb because of the lack of a hbond. If a segment is not colored blue but has the appearance of a β-turns, check for a cis-Pro at ''i + 2''. Also, the values for phi and psi angles at ''i + 1'' and ''i + 2'' can be [[Psi and Phi Angles|determined]] and compared to the values expected for classes VIa1, VIa2, and VIb.
