Pseudo group of domains that do not map to PFam family profiles. Domains inside should not be considered as in one family.
mixed a+b and a/balpha and beta domain consists of both a+b and a/b regions
few secondary structure elementsstabilized by cofactors or disulfides
extended segmentsextended, non-globular segments, frequently bind to other proteins to form complexes
