They used NMR spectroscopy to create a structure of the first domains of g3p.  Shown is a combination of the 15 most energetically favorable states. Observations of secondary structure are below.

In 1998, Lubkowski et al crystallized the first two domains of g3p.  They made two overall observations:

<applet load='1fgp' size='100' frame='true' align='left' caption='Initial structure of D1' />The first structure of g3p entered into the PDB was by Holliger and Riechmann in late 1996-early 1997<ref name="holliger 97"/>.

The D1 domain consists of mostly beta sheets. Both Holliger and Riechmann as well as Lubowski et al noted a <scene name='G3p/N_terminal_alpha_helix/1'>N terminal alpha helix</scene> <ref name="lubkowski"/> in their respective publications<ref name="holliger 97"/><ref name="lubkowski"/>.  This aside, five <scene name='G3p/Beta_strands/1'>beta strands</scene> arranged as a barrel-like motif, which participates with two other strands from second domain to make an antiparallel sheet <ref name="lubkowski"/>. Disulfide bonds exist between Cys 7 and Cys 36 (left handed helix) and Cys 46 and Cys 53 (right handed hook) <ref name="lubkowski"/>.
