Only the groups on the edges of the sheet do not have hydrogen bond partners, but if this sheet were part of a larger protein, other residues would supply groups to hydrogen bond to most if not all of these. | <scene name='User:Robert_Dutnall/Sandbox_1_sheets/Antipara_mainchain_hbonds/1' target='anti_Hbonds'>Click here to zoom out again.</scene> You should notice that all of the NH and C=O groups that lie between strands are involved in hydrogen bonds.

Two of the strands in this sheet are connected by a β-turn. <scene name='User:Robert_Dutnall/Sandbox_1_sheets/Antipara_mainchain_turn/2' target='anti_Hbonds'>Click here</scene> to show the β-turn. The carbon atoms of the amino acids that define the turn have been colored orange. The turn allows a segment of polypeptide to reverse direction in a short distance. In this case it also allows two strands to interact in an antiparallel fashion. <scene name='46/463272/Antipara_mainchain_turn_zoom/1' target='anti_Hbonds'>Click here to zoom in on the turn and reorient it to show more clearly.</scene> '''Is this a Type I or Type II β-turn?

Sidechains have been added and the atoms of each amino side chain have been colored blue or purple in an alternating fashion. | <scene name='User:Robert_Dutnall/Sandbox_1_sheets/Antipara_mainchain_sidechains/1' target='anti_Hbonds'>Click here to zoom out again.</scene> In this view, some of the residues at the turn have been omitted and you are looking roughly edge-on to the flat plane of the sheet.
