	%X The γ-turns play important roles in protein folding and
molecular recognition. The prediction and analysis of γ-turn types are
important for both protein structure predictions and better
understanding the characteristics of different γ-turn types. This study
proposed a physicochemical property-based decision tree (PPDT)
method to interpretably predict γ-turn types. In addition to the good
prediction performance of PPDT, three simple and human
interpretable IF-THEN rules are extracted from the decision tree
constructed by PPDT. The identified informative physicochemical
properties and concise rules provide a simple way for discriminating
and understanding γ-turn types.
