ToAlphaBeta allows the user to mark a section of a polypeptide chain to fold towards an alpha helix configuration or towards a beta strand configuration as described here.

ToAlphaBeta is a member of the Plico suite of protein folding tools described here. It may be installed and accessed as a macro with the file:

Title=PLICO To Alpha/Beta
Script=script <path to your scripts directory>/toab.spt;plico_to_ab

saved as plicotoab.macro in your .jmol/macros directory as described in Macro.

A copy of the Plico scripts tug.spt and plicoCommon.spt must be in the same directory as this script.

Copy and paste the following into a text editor and save in your scripts directory as toab.spt.
