The secondary structure of lysozyme consists of 5 beta pleated sheets along with 5 alpha helices. These structures are displayed as <scene name='Sandbox_37/1/1'>cartoon rockets</scene> (click link to view in Jmol) where the alpha helices are labelled pink and the beta pleated sheets are yellow. The two shortest cartoon rockets which should be yellow beta pleated sheets are labelled pink by the program when told to label different secondary structures differently. This is due to the fact that two of the beta pleated sheets are slightly abnormally shaped and thus can be confused for alpha helices. | The secondary structure of lysozyme consists of 5 beta pleated sheets along with 5 alpha helices.
