Domain 1 contains the N terminus, while domain 2 contains the C terminus. Multiple N and C terminii are shown in the diagram due to the missing residues. | <scene name='56/567310/Domain_2/1'>Domain 2</scene> (residues 241:349) is composed of an antiparallel Beta sheet and an alpha helix<ref name="Crystal"/>.
