(3)-Gly75-Tyr84; Apex Hydrophobic (Leu79).
All are described by ''Authors of the paper'' to protrude like spikes from the bottom of the barrel in monomeric FVa-C2.  It is also worth noting that spike (1) & spike (3) are separated by β-hairpin structures and spike (2) is described as a wider irregularly loop comparatively.  These three loops extending from the C2 domain, are all linked to each other, and to '''three shorter loops''' by an intricate '''H-bonding network''' which extends to residues at the bottom of the β-barrel.
<br />
The apexes of these three loops within the C2 domain, are able to create a deep groove lined by hydrophobic (Trp31, Met83) and polar residues (Gln48, Ser78), as seen and xxxx the '''"Open Form"''' of FVa-C2.

A second dimeric crystal form of FVa-C2, packed through the free edges of S6 strands, presenting a different Leu104-Val109
loop, suggesting capabilities of adopting a "Closed Form".

The overall Barrel structure is closed at the top and bottom by '''three''' and '''two''' straight segments, giving it an '''overall spherical shape''' with a flattened upper surface.
