Antiparallel helical bundles are found in a wide range of proteins. Often, four-helical bundles form tube-like structures, with binding sites for substrates or cofactors near their centers. For example, a transmembrane four-helical bundle in cytochrome bc(1) binds a pair of porphyrins in an elongated central cavity running down the center of the structure. Antiparallel helical barrels with larg...
