Figure 7 β-sheets vs. maximally connected bit-patterns: an example. (a) A type 0 bit-pattern is identified in the 24201th frame of the GSGS T1 trajectory. This bit-pattern corresponds to the the connected 'x'-es in the table, where an 'x' indicates two corresponding Cα atoms are in contact,'-' otherwise. It consists of Cα atoms from 5 through 20. (b) The 3D conformation of this frame, where the 5–20 Cα atoms resembles a β-sheet of two turns.
