MDY- a right-handed parallel beta helix is a tertiary fold. The secondary structure is the beta and the alpha structure. If you describe how the secondary structure folds in space, that becomes tertiary structure. The secondary structural elements of the core fold of the proteins are only beta structure, the beta strands form parallel beta sheets. There are three main parallel beta sheets, PG's often have a smaller parallel beta sheet of only three-four beta strands. | MDY- a right-handed parallel beta helix is a tertiary fold.

Not all PGs have ten coils in the parallel beta helix. They usually have approximately 10 coils. With the parallel beta helix fold, the three major beta sheets are call PB1, PB2, and PB3. The turns between strands are Turn 1 (T1) between PB1 and PB2, T2 is the turn between PB2 and PB3, and T3 is the turn between PB3 and PB1 of the next coil. For your reference, this is illustrated in the figure below. | Not all PGs have ten coils in the parallel beta helix. They usually have approximately 10 coils.
