abstract：:Due to the structural and functional importance of tight turns, some methods have been proposed to predict gamma-turns, beta-turns, and alpha-turns in proteins. In the past, studies of pi-turns were made, but not a single prediction approach has been developed so far. It will be useful to develop a method for identify...
