Beta sheet

Definition
AI-generated

Extended sheet secondary structure stabilized by backbone hydrogen bonds between segments.

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"Structural prediction indicated the variant perturbs a conserved beta-sheet interface in the enzyme core."
