Secondary structure: helices and β-sheets

2MTX contains 2 α-helices and 0 β-strands across 1 chain. Residue ranges use author residue numbering, as in the PDB file, from PDBe. To see them in 3D, choose the Cartoon representation with Secondary structure coloring: helices, sheets and coils get different colors.
