The analysis was performed for the two-stranded sheets listed in Table 2. The atom notation is explained in the last panel of the table; A and B refer to the two strands of the sheet.

∗,¶In FF, a subset of sheets satisfy simultaneously the criteria of families 2 and 3, or 3 and 5.

†,‡In FFF, a subset of sheets satisfy simultaneously the criteria of families 2 and 3, or 4 and 6.

§Eight percent of conformations have two additional head-tail interactions; 24% of conformations have one additional head-tail interaction.
