*'''Turns'''. β-turn and γ-turn are the two types of turns.  β-turns are composed of four amino acids and can have several difference conformations.  γ-turns are made up of only three amino acids and are therefore a much tighter turn.  More detail and illustrations of these turns are at [[Turns in Proteins]].

The structure of a human transferrin n-lobe mutant (PDB code [[1dtg]]) is shown in cartoon and colored structure to highlight its secondary structure, with alpha-helices in magenta and beta-sheets in yellow. Another example is <scene name='Secondary_structure/Gly_phosphyl/3'>domain 2 of glycogen phosphorylase</scene> (PDB code [[1abb]]).
