A [[beta sheet]] is a type of secondary structure, i.e. a description of how the main chain of a protein is arranged in space. It is composed of at least two beta strands. Beta strands have repetitive regular secondary structure (just like the [[alpha helix]]), i.e. all residues have similar conformation and hydrogen bonding, and it can be of arbitrary length. | A [[beta sheet]] is a type of secondary structure, i.e. a description of how the main chain of a protein is arranged in space.
