The <scene name='G3p/D1_in_blue_spin/1'>D1 domain</scene> consists of mostly beta sheets. Both Holliger and Riechmann as well as Lubkowski et al noted a <scene name='G3p/N_terminal_alpha_helix/1'>N terminal alpha helix</scene> 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. Disulfide bonds exist between Cys 7 and Cys 36 (left handed helix) and Cys 46 and Cys 53 (right handed hook) <ref name="lubkowski"/>.

The function of the protein has a close correlation with its structural domains. The <scene name='G3p/D1_and_tola/1'>D1 domain (blue) interacts with TolA protein (orange)</scene> in the periplasm of the bacterial cell. <ref name="lubkowski"/><ref name="cabilly"/><ref name="holliger 99"/>. (The C terminal domain of TolA is the coreceptor for filamentous phage infection of E coli(Cell 90, 351-360 (1997)). The D2 domain binds to F pilus on the outer membrane of ''Escherichia coli'', however, it is also blocks TolA binding to D1 in the absence of the F pilus <ref name="chatellier"> PMID:10606756 </ref>. In fact, without the D2 domain, infectivity is very low<ref name="lubkowski"/>. It has been speculated that D2 interacts with the F pilus first, drawing the phage closer to the bacterial cell, thus allowing D1-TolA interactions to occur<ref name="holliger 99"/>.  Chatellier et al suggest that the complex formed by D1 and D2 may prevent destruction of the protein from bacterial proteases, and upon binding the protein opens up and D3 can then reach the inner membrane of the bacteria<ref name="chatellier"/>.

Infection with filamentous phage does not cause host cell lysis or death <ref name="gailus"> PMID:8026502 </ref>. The N terminus of g3p can be truncated and the peptide of choice can be inserted <ref name="Cabilly"/>. Insertions can also be made between D2 and D3 <ref name="h and r"> PMID: 9032075 </ref>.  Specifically, fusions to ther N terminus have no affect on infectivity, between D12 and D3 have 100 fold reduction for peptide insertion, and a 1000 to 100,000 fold for noncovalently interacting peptides <ref name="chatellier"/>.

Peptides can be fused to CT domain or to the N1 domain, neither areas are near the central area of the horseshoe <ref name="lubkowski"/>.
