We test a simplified, local version of the helix model on two synthetic and two natural proteins, to study its efficiency in predicting the native secondary structure. The results we obtain are very good for the synthetic sequences, poorer for the two natural ones. This suggests that non-local terms play a fundamental role in determining the secondary structure, even if in some cases local terms alone may be sufficient.
