== Beta Barrels, Protein Domains and the Active Center ==

The chymotrypsin molecule is folded into two <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Chymo/2ndry_structure/1'>domains</scene>, each containing six beta strands (orange) arranged as anti-parallel sheets which form a circular structure known as a beta barrel. Rotate the molecule so that you can see down through each of the two beta barrels in turn.

The <scene name='User:Michael_Roberts/BIOL115_Chymo/2ndry_structure/2'>active site residues</scene> (Ser-195, His-57 and Asp-102 shown here in spacefill representation), are far apart in the primary sequence but are brought together in a crevice formed between the two beta barrel protein domains.
