And if beta sheet breakers prove effective in monkeys as well as rats, they might also help treat Alzheimer's patients. (sciencemag.org)
The structures of the alpha and beta subunits are similar, consisting of a core of two antiparallel beta sheets that is flanked by alpha helices on both sides. (science.sciencemag.org)
Here's the difference: In nature, proteins are composed of beta sheets and alpha helices. (sciencedaily.com)
