====== Omega Loop =======

An omega [[glossary:loop | loop ]] has been defined as a continous segment of polypeptide
chain that adopts a 'loop-shaped' conformation in three-dimensional space,
with a small distance between its segment termini. The main
chain of an idealized loop  has the appearance of a Greek letter omega (hence the term
'omega loop').
