The Importance of the -Sheet Sandwich in Nature Definition: The -Sheet sandwich is a structure motif in proteins in which two -sheets face each other to form a sandwich. The -sheet sandwich can act as a binding pocket. Goal of building the artificial -sheet sandwich: To build a chemical model to mimic the three dimensional structures of globular proteins. Lipid binding protein: 1lif
