If you use information from this website, or results from the BetaWrap program, please cite our abstract from RECOMB 2001, the Fifth Annual International Conference on Computational Molecular Biology:

P. Bradley, L. Cowen, M. Menke, J. King and B. Berger, "Predicting the Beta-Helix Fold from Protein Sequence Data".

Powerpoint slides of Bonnie Berger's AMS talk on 1/12/01 can be downloaded here. These slides include a description of the algorithm.

Powerpoint slides of Phil Bradley's Recomb 2001 talk can be downloaded here.

Here is a list of some of the high-scoring sequences that BetaWrap found when run on the NCBI non-redundant protein sequence database.

Raw beta-sheet alignment data is available here.
