Observations of secondary structure are below.

===D1 domain===
The D1 domain consists of mostly beta sheets. Both Holliger and Riechmann as well as Lubowski et al noted a <scene name='G3p/N_terminal_alpha_helix/1'>N terminal alpha helix</scene> <ref name="lubkowski"/> in their respective publications<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, which participates 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"/>.
