+======  Beta-Alpha-Beta Motif  =======
+This motif comprises a beta strand-loop-helix-loop-strand arrangment,
+with the strands lying parallel and hydrogen-bonded to the helix. The
+alpha helix packs against the beta strands and thus buries the hydrophobic
+side chains in these strands. The
+joining loops regions in the motif can vary in length from one residue to more
+than 100 residues. 99% of these motifs are right handed.
