Comparison of the FSD-1 experimentally determined structure and the design target structure. The FSD-1 structure is the restrained energy minimized average from the NMR structure determination. The design target structure is the second DNA binding module of the zinc finger Zif268 (9)

• * h, θ, and Ω are calculated as described (36, 37). h is the distance between the centroid of the helix Cα coordinates (residues 15 to 26) and the least-squares plane fit to the Cα coordinates of the sheet (residues 3 to 12); θ is the angle of inclination of the principal moment of the helix Cα atoms with the plane of the sheet; Ω is the angle between the projection of the principal moment of the helix onto the sheet and the projection of the average least-squares fit line to the strand Cα coordinates (residues 3 to 6 and 9 to 12) onto the sheet.
