We have conducted an analysis of the structures and sequence preferences of two types of interhelical turns, each of which connects the two helices by a two-residue linker in an alphaL-beta conformation. Based on this analysis, it became apparent that the turn introduced into a designed four-helix bundle protein, DF1, did not occur within an optimal structural context. DF1 is a dimeric model for the diiron class of proteins. A longer loop with a beta-alphaR-beta conformation was inserted between two helices in the protein, and a sequence was chosen to stabilize its conformation. X-ray crystallography and NMR analysis of the protein showed the structure to be in excellent agreement with design.
