Statistically Observed Propensities. A measure of a residue's tendency or bias to have a particular property. In secondary structure prediction algorithms (Chou & Fasman, 1978) this refers to the probability that a residue will be found in a given secondary structure (helix, beta-strand, coil or turn). Secondary structure propensity is determined by taking the frequency of a given amino acid in a given structure and dividing by the overall frequency (in all structures) of that amino acid.
