+====== Antiparallel Beta Sheets =======
+This is a beta-pleated sheet in which adjacent beta strands in the structure point
+in opposite directions, for example amino-terminal to carboxy-terminal, carboxy-terminal
+to amino-terminal, amino-terminal to carboxy-terminal, etc. Such sheets have narrowly
+spaced hydrogen bond pairs that alternate with widely spaced pairs. In each residue the main
+chain -NH and -CO groups point in the same direction, but which alternates
+with successive residues.
