Dpl has the same fold as [[PrP]], with three alpha helices and two short beta strands<ref>Mo H ''et al.'' (2001) ''Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA'' '''98''',2352-7</ref>.  however it differs in that the third helix has a significant kink in it and it also contains two disulphide bonds.
Dpl has the same fold as the C-terminal domain [[PrP]], with three alpha helices and two short beta strands<ref>Mo H ''et al.'' (2001) ''Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA'' '''98''',2352-7</ref>.  However Dpl differs from [[PrP]] in two important respects: the second helix of Dpl has a pronounced kink in it, and Dpl also contains <scene name='Doppel/Disulfide_bonds/1'>two disulphide bonds</scene>.


The structure mutant PrP with the additional disulphide bond was also determined <ref>Zahn R ''et al.'' (2003) NMR structure of a variant human prion protein with two disulfide bridges '' J. Mol. Biol.'' '''326''', 225-34.</ref>
