Abstrakt: Protein ORIGAMI (http://ibg.kit.edu/protein_origami) is a browser-based web application that allows the user to create straightforward 3D paper models of folded peptides for research, teaching and presentations. An amino acid sequence can be turned into α-helices, β-strands and random coils that can be printed out and folded into properly scaled models, with a color code denoting the biophysical characteristics of each amino acid residue (hydrophobicity, charge, etc.). These models provide an intuitive visual and tactile understanding of peptide interactions with other partners, such as helix-helix assembly, oligomerization, membrane binding, or pore formation. Helices can also be displayed as a helical wheel or helical mesh in 2D graphics, to be used in publications or presentations. The highly versatile programme Protein ORIGAMI is also suited to create less conventional helices with arbitrary pitch (e.g., 3 10 -helix, π-helix, or left-handed helices). Noncanonical amino acids, labels and different terminal modifications can be defined and displayed at will, and different protonation states can be shown. In addition to the web application, the program source code can be downloaded and installed locally on a PC. The printed paper models can be readily used for daily research and discussions, just as for educational purposes and teaching. © 2018 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 46:403-409, 2018.
