Figure 7. The 2-fold symmetric intermolecular b-sheet involving the 16-35 b-hairpins of two molecules. Note the role of water molecules sealing the gaps between the diverging strands on each end of the intermolecular b-sheet. For clarity, side-chains not involved in hydrogen bonding within this structure have been represented by their C^b atoms only.
