====Beta-Turns and Loops====
β-strand 1 is connected to β-strand 2 via a four residue linkage (Pro39 to Ser42) with Pro39 being in a cis-conformation. Two examples of type-II β-turns can also be observed in KSI-between β-stands 3 & 4 (Ala75-Asn76→see figure) and β-strands 4 & 5 (Gln89-Gly90). A loop structure (Asn105-Val107) also connects β-strands 5 and 6.

Upon substrate binding the the three &alpha;-helices become more tightly packed with the "front face" of the &beta;-sheet.  This in turn allows Tyr14 to approach Asp99 and the substrate.

===Cis-Peptide Bond===  
===Cis-Peptide Bond===  
Pro39 of KSI participates in a cis-peptide linkage with Asp38 in forming a <scene name='User:Laura_M._Haynes/Sandbox_1/Cis_loop/1'>four-residue linkage</scene>between stands 1 and 2 of the 6 stranded beta-sheet.<ref name="Wu" />  The cis-peptide linkage serves to correctly position the key catalytic residue Asp38 within the active site.  Mutating residue to Gly or Ala results in the improper positioning of Asp38 within the active site leading to corresponding 2-fold decreases in enzyme's catalytic efficiency.<ref name="NAM">PMID:12852789 </ref>  The cis-peptide bond also helps to stablize and increase the rigidity of the four-residue linkage between &beta;-strands 1 and 2.<ref name="NAM" />

==Structural Classifications==
===CATH===
KSI is classified using the CATH classification system as follows:
# Class - Alpha Beta
# Architecture - Roll
# Topology - Nuclear Transport Factor 2
===SCOP===
KSI is classified using the SCOP classification system as follows:
# Class - Alpha and Beta (&alpha;+&beta;)
# Fold - Cystatin-like
# Superfamily - NTF2-like
# Family - Ketosteroid Isomserase-like
# Domian - &Delta;5-3-ketosteroid isomerase
