Understanding PECAN output

The text of PECAN output is shown as an annotated image below.   The following tags are used to identify the structure.

_PECAN.Extended_probability The probability for the given residue to be in Extended state
_PECAN.Helix_probability The probability for the given residue to be in Helical state
_PECAN.Extended_boundary_designator
a value of 1 (one) indicates PECAN designation of the residue as a boundary residue in an extended region
_PECAN.Helix_boundary_designator a value of 1 (one) indicates PECAN designation of the residue as a boundary residue in a Helical region



NOTE 1: When the probability for a given state is less than one,  the remainder indicates the probability of being in "other" state.

NOTE 2: Boundaries are shown in yellow in the PECAN plot.
