The protein shown here is flavodoxin, which contains both alpha helices and beta sheets. **Title: Understanding Protein Structure: Beta Strand Visualization****Graph/Diagram Explanation:**The image is a 3D representation of a protein structure, highlighting beta strands within the protein. In this structure:- **Magenta lines** indicate the beta strands, showing the arrangement of these segments within the protein.- **Yellow lines** represent the positions of side chains or other secondary structures.- **Grey lines** depict the protein backbone, outlining the overall structure of the protein chain.The visualization allows for interaction with features such as viewing the backbone, side groups, and color coding. These options can be reset as needed.**Instructional Text:**"The first beta strand in the primary sequence starts with residue number 3 (Ala3). What residue number terminates the first beta strand?"To explore this model further and answer the question, use the interactive options provided to examine and analyze the protein structure.

Beta sheet is one of the motifs of secondary structure of protein. Each beta sheet is formed by beta strands connected laterally by Hydrogen bond in the backbone. Generally beta strand is a liner stretch of Aminoacids consisting of length of 3-10 aminoacid residues in an extended conformation. On an average, each beta strand has 6 amino acids. Here in the structure of flavodoxin, first beta strand starts with alanine at position 3( Ala3). Starting with 3rd residue with a length of 6 Amino acids, the length of beta strand terminates at Amino acid number 9 . So the first beta strand in flavodoxin is terminated by residue number 9.
