E.g. identification of beta-sheet and alpha-helices?
-
By the look of it, the FliC protein has loads of alpha-helix and no beta-sheet, which is rather different from the FliI protein.
-
FliI seems to have several short alpha-helices, an anti-parallel beta-sheet, and maybe a little beta-strand.

It turns out that's because these building blocks-the tiny beta-sheet crystals, as well as filaments that join them-are arranged in a structure that resembles a tall stack of pancakes, but with the crystal structures within each pancake alternating in their orientation.

One surprising finding from the new work is that there is a critical dependence of the properties of silk on the exact size of these beta-sheet crystals within the fibers.
