We can also see that the protein is organised into two structurally-similar domains. Each domain contains a group of beta strands arranged as anti-parallel sheets forming a circular structure known as a beta barrel. You can rotate the molecule so that you can see down through each of the two beta barrels in turn. | We can also see that the protein is organised into two structurally-similar domains.
