Hi,
Timeline (like the rest of VMD) uses STRIDE to calculate secondary structure. Reference for STRIDE: Frishman,D. & Argos,P. (1995) Knowledge-based secondary structure assignment. Proteins: structure, function and genetics, 23, 566-579.
In the "VMD Timeline" window menu bar, select:
"Help":"Structure Codes…"
to see the list of structure codes.
You should see this displayed:
=================
Secondary Structure Codes
T Turn
E Extended conformation
B Isolated bridge
H Alpha helix
G 3-10 helix
I Pi-helix
C Coil (none of the above)
=================
Cheers,
Barry
