Abstract
Recently solved structures and proposed models have helped to reveal the st
ructural characteristics of the beta-propeller fold, as well as the feature
s that contribute to its high rigidity and stability. Possible strategies f
or identifying beta-propeller proteins in newly characterised sequences are
helping to overcome the problems of predicting the beta-propeller fold fro
m amino acid sequences.
