 '''Structural Clasification of Proteins (SCOP)<ref>{{web site| title=SCOP: Protein: Enolase from Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)|url=http://scop.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/scop/data/scop.b.d.b.bc.b.b.html|}}</ref>'''
-Enolase is in the alpha and beta proteins class and has a fold of TIM beta/alpha-barrel.  It comes from the Superfamily on Enolase C-terminal domain-like and is in the enolase family.
+Enolase is in the Alpha and Beta protein class (mainly parallel beta sheets) and has a fold of TIM beta/alpha-barrel, which consists of parallel barrels composed of beta sheets.  Enolase also belongs to the Enolase C-terminal domain-like protein Superfamily, which means it can bind metal ions (magnesium or manganese) in a conserved site inside barrel N-terminal alpha+beta domains.
