 If you want to accurately identify Pi-helices also, use this site:

 Both DSSP has a few problems with Pi-helices which as we and others have
 shown could be important for the function of your protein. STRIDE is
 worse than DSSP in this area.

 The program is basically an improved implementation of DSSP to correctly
 identify Pi-helices. The output can be pasted at the top of your PDB
 file to be recognized by PyMOL, rasmol, SPDBV etc.  It is not 100% PDB
 format but all the essentials are there for graphical programs plus
 extra information such as helical geometric parameters.
