=== SST classification === SST<ref>{{cite web | url=http://lcb.infotech.monash.edu.au/sstweb2 | title=SST (Web server): Secondary STructure assignment to protein coordinates using MML inference -- Submission page }}</ref><ref name=":0" /> is a Bayesian method to assign secondary structure to protein coordinate data using the Shannon information criterion of Minimum Message Length ([[Minimum message length|MML]]) inference. [http://lcb.infotech.monash.edu.au/sstweb2 SST] treats any assignment of secondary structure as a potential hypothesis that attempts to explain ([[Lossless compression|compress]]) given protein coordinate data. The core idea is that the '''''best''''' secondary structural assignment is the one that can explain ([[Lossless compression|compress]]) the coordinates of a given protein coordinates in the most economical way, thus linking the inference of secondary structure to [[lossless data compression]]. SST accurately delineates any protein chain into regions associated with the following assignment types:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://lcb.infotech.monash.edu.au/sst|title=SST web server|access-date=17 April 2018}}</ref> * E = (Extended) strand of a '''[[Beta sheet|β-pleated sheet]]''' * G = Right-handed '''[[310 helix|3<sub>10</sub> helix]]''' * H = Right-handed [[Alpha helix|'''α-helix''']] * I = Right-handed [[Pi helix|'''π'''-'''helix''']] * g = Left-handed '''[[310 helix|3<sub>10</sub> helix]]''' * h = Left-handed [[Alpha helix|'''α-helix''']] * i = Left-handed [[Pi helix|'''π'''-'''helix''']] * 3 = '''3<sub>10</sub>'''-like [[Turn (biochemistry)|'''Turn''']] * 4 = '''α'''-like [[Turn (biochemistry)|'''Turn''']] * 5 = '''π-'''like [[Turn (biochemistry)|'''Turn''']] * T = Unspecified [[Turn (biochemistry)|'''Turn''']] * C = '''Coil''' * - = Unassigned residue SST<ref>{{cite web | url=http://lcb.infotech.monash.edu.au/sstweb2 | title=SST (Web server): Secondary STructure assignment to protein coordinates using MML inference -- Submission page }}</ref> detects '''π''' and '''3<sub>10</sub>''' helical caps to standard '''α'''-helices, and automatically assembles the various extended strands into consistent β-pleated sheets. It provides a readable output of dissected secondary structural elements, and a corresponding [[PyMOL|PyMol]]-loadable script to visualize the assigned secondary structural elements individually.
