Any cis peptides out there......

Mark:

{*} I have a non-proline cis-peptide bond in a structure i've recently 
{*} determined, and would like to know how many other's there are.
{*} 
{*} Has anyone compiled a list of protein structures containing such bonds?
{*} Or have any idea how i could go about compiling such a list? I've been
{*} unable to design a database search for these bond types, without calling
{*} up all the cis-prolines.

Take a look at the work of Stewart & colleagues from Georgia:

Stewart DE; Sarkar A; Wampler JE.
Occurrence and role of cis peptide bonds in protein structures.
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1990 Jul 5, 214(1):253-60.

Some interesting ones that come to my mind are:

RNAse T1
Beta lactamase
Carbonic anhydrase
Dihydrofolate Reductase
