To illustrate a &beta;&alpha;&beta; fold in a complete protein an example is shown in Figure 4. The example protein is a ferredoxin reductase from Pseudomonas that binds both an FAD and NADH <ref>PMID:11090282</ref>. This enzyme binds NADH which transfers its two electrons to the FAD coenzyme of ferredoxin reductase. These electrons are then transferred to a ferredoxin that is an iron sulfur electron transfer protein. This ferredoxin then donates the electrons to an oxygenase that uses the electrons in a dioxygenase reaction.
To illustrate a &beta;&alpha;&beta; fold in a complete protein a 3D example is shown below. The example protein is a ferredoxin reductase from Pseudomonas that binds both an FAD and NADH <ref>PMID:11090282</ref>. This enzyme binds NADH which transfers its two electrons to the FAD coenzyme of ferredoxin reductase.

The two core &beta;-strands of the enzyme are shown in cyan colored "rocket" format, with a red colored helix in between the two strands.
