 Hello.  I'd like to find out what are the smallest known proteins in
 the following categories:
   1. all alpha
     1.i helix bundle
   2. all beta
   3. no secondary structure (helix or b-sheet)
 My interest is not limited to naturally-occurring or biologically
 active proteins; artificially generated proteins as well as protein
 fragments, as long as they fold independently, have a stable,
 well-defined (and published!), tertiary structure, are also OK.
 Does anybody know how to go about finding out what I'm looking for?
 (I've searched for recent papers on the matter, but the topic of size
 records in proteins doesn't seem terribly popular.)
 I'd appreciate suggestions; I'll post a summary.
