pairs of structures used to generate the hinge annotations. We will discuss this for<br />

specific cases in the following section.<br />

Discussion<br />

We chose six representative proteins from the 40 structures in the HAG for detailed<br />

discussion. These reflect some of the diversity of the set and illustrate the salient features<br />

of the algorithm. For each of these, we present structural images with the annotated<br />

hinges highlighted. We also present and discuss the results of running the three versions<br />

of FlexOracle on the structure. The FlexOracle results for all 40 HAG structures can be<br />

viewed online at molmovdb.org/FO.<br />

The single-cut version of FlexOracle naturally works best on single-stranded hinges.<br />

This condition is less common, and in fact most proteins in HAG have two strands in the<br />

hinge, and a couple even have three. We will show that the single-cut predictor<br />

nonetheless has predictive ability in these cases, although the two-cut predictor is much<br />

more accurate.<br />

The two-cut predictor, in contrast, is specifically designed to handle double-stranded<br />

hinges. It is also designed to respond to single stranded hinges by discarding one cut of<br />

the pair as described earlier. We did not attempt to extend the method to explicitly treat<br />

the case of triple stranded hinges.<br />
