The rippled sheet is a distinctive variation on the pleated beta sheet, which is a well-known structural motif found in thousands of proteins, including important disease-related proteins. Linus ...

An unusual protein structure known as a “rippled beta sheet,” first predicted in 1953, has now been created in the laboratory and characterized in detail using x-ray crystallography. The new findings, ...

Simple models are presented that describe the rules for almost all the packing that occurs between and among α -helices and pleated sheets. These packing rules, together with the primary and secondary ...
