Secondary structure of glycogen phosphorylase from Escherichia coli has been deduced using Chou-Fasman analysis. Out of 809 amino acid residues, 244 residues showed formation of alpha-helix (30%), 218 residues beta-pleated sheet (27%) and 192 residues (24%) showed formation of reverse beta turn, distributed all over the sequence. There are total 27 alpha-helix and 31 beta-pleated sheets distributed all over the molecule. A structure consisting of three consecutive strands of beta-pleated sheets and two joining alpha-helix is predicted for the stretch of the primary sequence from residues 325 to 372, thus showing the presence of a Rossman fold super secondary structure. There is a tyrosine at position 350 in the super secondary structure, in the area to contain a reverse beta turn. Several amino acids pairs are present in the sequence having Rossman fold super secondary structure.

Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
