Contains hydrophilic amino acids and protrudes outside the protein surface like a hook.

Consists of 5 amino acids, generally termed as i, i+1, i+2, i+3 and i+4

H-bond is seen between i and i+4 (First and Fifth residue)

The conformation of i+1, i+2 and i+3 are crucial and on the basis of this, they are classified into
