S: Strand, L: Loop, H: Helix, LS: Lateral Shelf, CA: Connector Arm, O: absence of given feature, --: presence of a loop feature, *: presence of LS or CA, h: insert in helical conformation, e: insert in extended conformation (strand-like), cc: long coil insert.

2

OR: oxidoreductase.

3

Versions form barrel through insertion of strands at the lateral shelf.

4

Barrel is less pronounced in this version, strands are inserted more upstream relative to the other 3 versions.

5

Two small helices are present in ascending arm.

6

Single helix found at ascending arm in several members.

7

Circular permutation results in new connections between strands; the S1 strand is found at C-terminus (See Figures 1, 2).

8

Additional strand at tail inserted between S1 and S5; lateral shelf forms strand that also stacks with central sheet.
