Visualization software can sometimes assign the secondary structure incorrectly.
 If you have some justifiable reason to believe that a certain secondary
structure exists (i.e. DSSP, STRIDE, etc) then you can use the "alter" feature
of PyMOL to render the secondary structure in the way that you believe to be
correct.
