it's a funky geometry.

First usage

I had a quick look to see if I could find an earliest usage of the term. The earliest I could find was in the paper describing the structure of neuraminidase.

In this paper they use the term propeller rather than beta-propeller which came later. I'm not confident enough to assert this as the first usage in the article though. Alexbateman (talk) 10:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Adding in CATH database external links

I am proposing to add in external links to point users towards CATH beta-propellers as well as the ones in SCOP. As CATH classified propellers ranging from 3 blades through to 8, I would like to integrate the following information:

• CATH 3-bladed beta propellers
• CATH 4-bladed beta propellers
• CATH 5-bladed beta propellers
• CATH 6-bladed beta propellers
• CATH 7-bladed beta propellers
• CATH 8-bladed beta propellers
