Coiled Coils

Predict protein coiled coil regions
This plugin is no longer supported. It was tested with Geneious Prime 2026.1 and earlier and remains available for those versions. No further updates will be made, and it may not work with newer Geneious Prime versions or operating systems.

Coiled Coils Plugin

Compare your sequence to a database of known parallel two-stranded coiled-coils and derive a similarity score. By comparing this score to the distribution of scores in globular and coiled-coil proteins, you can then calculate the probability that the sequence will adopt a coiled-coil conformation.

By Tobias Thierer

Quick Start

Install the plugin by downloading the gplugin file and dragging it in to Geneious or use the plugin manager in Geneious (under Tools - Plugins in the menu).

Once installed, select a protein sequence and the Coiled Coils graph will appear. The graph has three lines corresponding to different sliding window sizes: Green = 14, Blue = 21, Red = 28. Options are available on the Graphs tab of the controls to the right of the Sequence view.
