Protein Motifs pt.5 - two Rossman folds

Rossman folds, named after Michael Rossman, consist of 3 beta strands and 2 helices in an alternating fashion: beta strand, helix, beta strand, helix, beta strand. This motif tends to reverse the direction of the chain within a protein.

(I’ve also included the pixel art pattern I used to make this protein motif because it looked cool :) )
