===Initial Observations===
The first structure of g3p entered into the PDB was by Holliger and Riechmann in late 1996-early 1997<ref name="holliger 97"> PMID:9032075 </ref>.  They used NMR spectroscopy to create a structure of the first two domains of g3p, which they called D1 and D2.  Observations of secondary structure are below.

In 1998, Lubkowski et al crystallized the first two domains of g3p.  They made two overall observations:

===D1 domain===
===D1 domain===
The D1 domain consists of mostly beta sheets. Both Holliger and Riechmann as well as Lubowski et al noted an <scene name='G3p/N_terminal_alpha_helix/1'>initial alpha helix at N terminal domain</scene> <ref name="lubkowski"/> in their respective analyses<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, participate with two other strands from second domain to make an antiparallel sheet <ref name="lubkowski"/>

Disulfide bonds exist between Cys 7 and Cys 36 (left handed helix) and Cys 46 and Cys 53 (right handed hook) <ref name="lubkowski"/>
