Alpha + Beta Domains Alpha + beta folds are more diverse than either α or α / β
folds and contain many complex folds which cannot be easily clustered into groups.
However there are two super-folds in this class made up of repeated
ββα
units, which form
an open anti-parallel or mixed
-sheet with helices on each side.
UB (Ubiquitin) roll The UB roll is an open twisted β -sheet with αβ Greek-key
topology (
β
ββαβ
) packed against
α
-helices. Examples include ferredoxin and protein G [72-
73].
-sheet packed against
α -helices to form a two-layered sandwich containing the αβ Greek-key motif ( βαββ ).
Examples include phosphotransferase and chorismate mutase [74-75].
Plaitfold The plaitfold is similar to the UB roll comprising a
