=== Two Layers ===
=== Two Layers ===
The ribbons representing the backbones show the two layers of α-helices.  The <scene name='Classes_of_globular_proteins/Two_layers_phobic/1'>hydrophobic side chains</scene> are shown in ball and stick with one layer colored green and the other cyan. Notice that these side chains are mostly located between the layers and that few are on the exterior of the molecule. The <scene name='Classes_of_globular_proteins/Two_layers_polar/1'>polar residues</scene> are now ball & stick, and they tend to be on the surface of the molecule and not between the layers.  <scene name='Classes_of_globular_proteins/Two_layers_polar_rotated/1'>Rotate structure</scene> so that axis of helix aligns with z-axis.

=== Three Layers ===
Rotate the <scene name='Classes_of_globular_proteins/Three_layers/1'>structure</scene> to observe the three layers.  Hopefully you positioned some like <scene name='Classes_of_globular_proteins/Three_layers_position/1'>this</scene>.
