We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Secondary structure refers to a protein's local three-dimensional structure, for example alpha helices and beta sheets are secondary structure. The structure on the right of a human transferrin n-lobe mutant (PDB code 1dtg) is shown in cartoon backbone representation to highlight its secondary structure, with alpha-helices in magenta and beta-sheets in yellow.
