Abstract
Many proteins form open knots. To study and classify proteins in terms of their topology, the protein chain needs to be artificially closed in order to analyze it as a knot. The theory of knotoids provides a workaround to this approach that gives a more refined overview of the topology of knotted proteins. In this review we explain how to analyze open protein chains using the theory of knotoids.
