The most generally accepted indicator of propensity for secondary structure is the differences in deviations of C shifts of Cα and Cβ's (e.g., Spera and Bax, 1991 ; Wishart and Sykes, 1994 ; Wishart and Case, 2001, illustrated in e.g., Fushman et al., 1998 ; McDonnell et al., 1999 ; Mittag and Forman-Kay, 2007 ), with α-helical segments showing a value of ∼ +4, and β sheets a value of ∼ −4.
Thus, the three independent indicators of helical propensity all indicate an increase in helicity for the first five residues of ∼17%, a number that is slightly larger than the smoothed 11% increase reported by the δ2D program of Camilloni et al., which takes into account all backbone secondary chemical shifts.
The HSI (0 6-point scale) includes one item addressing quantity (using a 0 6-point comprescaleformat) plus another includesessing smoneng urgency, that item"How soon addressingwake up do you smoke your first cigarette?" The FTND (0–10-point scale) includes the HSI plus other indicators of behavioral propensity to smoke in various situations.
We examined whether indicators of risk-propensity, including self-reported personality traits, laboratory-based behavioral measures of risk, and self-reported attitudes toward risk in various domains were associated with general gambling involvement and problem gambling behavior in a sample of university students, using an extreme-groups design.
The relative position-specific amino acid propensity, Px, of an amino acid is a quantitative indicator of the propensity of the amino acid to be found at a particular position on the epitope.
Results indicate that the volume affected by stress concentration at the vicinity of the pores is a valuable indicator of their propensity to initiate cracks.
It was also found that performance during the incubation period is an indicator of the propensity for business closure after graduation.
This metric served as an indicator of the propensity of an area to harbor mosquito habitats and by extension, malaria transmission.
The models included indicators for propensity score quintile (2 5), month (2 24), restricted coverage, and interactions between restricted coverage and month.
We then fitted a multivariable logistic regression model including indicator of tenth of propensity score as a covariate, from which we estimated a relative risk and 95% confidence interval for postoperative pneumonia associated with proton pump inhibitor exposure.
