Abstract
In a protein molecule, ${\alpha}$-helices are important for protein structure, function, and binding to other proteins, so the analysis on the structure of helices has been researched. Since an interaction between two helices is evaluated based on their axes, massive errors in protein structure analysis would be caused if a curved or kinked long ${\alpha}$-helix is considered as a linear one. In this paper, we present an algorithm to reconstruct ${\alpha}$-helices in a protein molecule as a sequence of straight helices under given threshold.
