  • beta Stranded Structures
  • beta-Stranded Structures
  • beta Strands
  • beta-Strands

Note

  • IM general only; coordinate NIM with specific protein

Scope note

  • A secondary structure of proteins where the amino (N-H) groups of a polypeptide backbone, three to ten amino acids in length, establish hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl (C=O) groups in the backbone of adjacent strands. These may form a beta-sheet, where the side chains of the adjacent strands point in the same direction.

History note

  • 2017; use PROTEIN STRUCTURE, SECONDARY 1992-2016
