The hemes are arranged in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_(chemistry) parallel-displaced] pairs. Each pair is orthogonal to the next pair.

The <scene name='83/835223/Hemes/5'>hemes at each junction form a pair</scene>, which likely contributes to the stability of the filament. More importantly, this produces a continuous chain of hemes through the length of the filament. These hemes are believed to be the basis of the electrical conductivity.
