Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a quick (yet somewhat reliable) sort of cheat-sheet/quick reference sheet with the more common folds with an illustrative example?

Hi Yuri,

I don't know of a cheat-sheet, but I find the "Introduction to Protein
Structure" book by Branden and Tooze to useful for illustrations of
common folds.

A very similar question: how about smaller motifs, such as various
turn types, etc.?

In addition to the book recommended by Jeff, another good one is "Protein Structure and Function" by Petsko and Ringe. A bit less cumbersome than Branden and Tooze, but not as complete (it's a relatively thin paperback, rather than a full-blown textbook). If you just want a nice "protein domain cheat sheet," it should be adequate.

Always worthy to check for protein domains is the Pawson Lab webpage (google it).
