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. | |||

The three loops 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. | |||
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. | 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. | ||
