There are a number of small hydrogen bonded motifs and patterns which are observed regularly. These are described below:<UL>
There are a number of small hydrogen bonded motifs and patterns which are observed regularly. These are described below:<UL>
<LI>Beta Turns - originally defined by the one hydrogen bond common to all (an i, i+3 hydrogen bond) but some modern descriptions do not require a hydrogen bond.

<LI>Beta Bulge Loops - often associated with beta sheets and result from an additional residue being found in one strand. This interrupts the regular hydrogen bonding and causes a distinctive bulge.

<LI>Alpha turns - the simplest of all motifs and is characterised by one (i, i+4) hydrogen bond. It is found as part of the hydrogen bonding network of alpha helices as well as occurring on its own.
