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. 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.

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.

In many (but not all) proteins with &beta;&alpha;&beta; fold, the &beta;-strands may be part of a larger &beta;-sheet with up to seven &beta;-strands. Figure 4 shows five strands forming a &beta;-sheet in phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (2P9E). Note that the segment connecting the second strand to the third is in coiled confirmation and not helical. Whereas the subsequent connections between strands include &alpha;-helix segments.
As seen in the above example of ferredoxin reductase the &beta;-sheet that is in the nucleotide domain may have more than two strands. In many (but not all) proteins with &beta;&alpha;&beta; fold, the &beta;-strands may be part of a larger &beta;-sheet with up to seven &beta;-strands. Figure 4 shows five strands forming a &beta;-sheet in phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (2P9E). Note that the segment connecting the second strand to the third is in coiled confirmation and not helical. Whereas the subsequent connections between strands include &alpha;-helix segments.
