+====== 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').
