1D7M - PubMed Abstract: 
The parallel two-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil is the most frequently encountered subunit-oligomerization motif in proteins. The simplicity and regularity of this motif have made it an attractive system to explore some of the fundamental principles of protein folding and stability and to test the principles of de novo design.
