====== 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.
