Beta strands are characterized by the extended conformation of the main chain (with phi and psi angles in the upper left quadrant of the [[Ramachandrn plot]]) and hydrogen bonds to the neighboring strands. Strands are either in a parallel or and antiparallel arrangement, resulting in different hydrogen bonding patterns. Accordingly, beta sheets are classified as parallel, antiparallel or mixed. The antiparallel arrangement of strands is more prevalent <ref>DOI:10.1021/ci200027d</ref>. | ||
