The program STRIDE by Frishman and Argos, which I obtained
from
http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/argos/stride/stride_info.html
will generate secondary structure assignments from the
atomic coordinates in a PDB file. While the assignments
will not always correspond exactly to the HELIX, SHEET and
TURN records of a PDB file (where these are present), they
are made in a consistent manner and are possibly more useful
in comparative studies.
STRIDE can also output the sequence in fasta format.
