Proteins are organized as a hierarchy of structures. The sequence is organized by variation of the main-chain torsion angles and the formation of hydrogen bonds into secondary structures such as [alpha]-helices [alpha], [beta]-strands [beta] and turns. Particular combinations of these secondary structural elements such as [alpha][alpha], [beta][alpha][beta] or [beta][beta] known as motifs are frequently found in the structures of globular proteins and appear to have a limited number of three-dimensional arrangements. 1, record 1, English, - motif
