Beta sheet The β sheet (also β-pleated sheet) is a commonly occurring form of regular secondary structure in proteins, first proposed by Linus Pauling and Robert Corey in 1951. Full article >>>
Another secondary structural element is called a "beta sheet" wherein the peptide backbone sort of traverses one direction, turns around and comes back, hydrogen bonding across as it moves. Full article >>>
The N-terminal (residues 1-450) and C-terminal (residues 1050-1201) regions are predicted to form globular structures consisting of alternating alpha helices and beta sheets. Full article >>>
motif - A discrete portion of a protein assumed to fold independently of the rest of the protein and possessing its own function [from NCBI BLAST Guide Glossary]. Some common types of motifs are made up of two or more alpha helices or beta sheets. Full article >>>
