The PRELI/MSF1p' domain is approximately 170 residues long and is predicted to assume a globular α + β fold with six β strands and four α helices (Figure 3).
Secondary-structure predictions, based on the multiple alignment, indicate the presence of four distinct a helices.
For the adjacent AA sequences, nearly 75% occur in loops, while approximately 12% of the AA sequences occur in helices, another 12% occur at the 3'loop-5'helix junction, and less than 5% occur in 3'helix-5'loop junctions.
In the MDM of multi-spanning transmembrane α helices, isoleucine, methionine and valine are found to have relatively high mutability as hydrophobic residues, and serine and threonine also rank high in mutability as polar residues.
Since mfold tends to insert small helices within terminal loops that falsely reduce the size of the terminal loop, small terminal loops (3, 4 or 5 nucleotides in length) were extended to seven nucleotides.
