Dear Priya,

    One possible way is to count the number of residues assigned as
part of alpha helices
in your peptide and divide that by the total number of residues.
I wrote a couple of BASH scripts and a C program to process DSSP output
in my study of thermal unfolding, but there might be an easier way?

regards,
Choon-Peng
