Yes, like the PTGL - https://bio.tools/ptgl https://bio.tools/ptgl - or, er, TOPS diagrams. The main relationship to knot diagrams is really the chirality of beta-alpha-beta motifs (the majority of which are right handed).
- dekhn 3y agoThanks! I was searching for this citation to include in my comment: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/protein-science/article/abs/protein-structural-topology-automated-analysis-and-diagrammatic-representation/6D6686CF1D6E16F2761FF46FADC87BFC https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/protein-science/arti... (I have no idea how my brain can remember a paper from 20+ years ago but not enough to find it in the literature)
