Defining structural domains for some multi-domain proteins is difficult. These examples have been grouped under "Multi-domain proteins" by SCOP and described as "Folds consisting of two or more domains belonging to different classes". Representative PDB chains were selected from this "Multi-domain class". Structural domains were defined manually, with the help of automated structure and sequence search methods.

Elongated a/b domain with distinct all-beta and all-alpha regions, a+b domain that completes an antiparallel beta-sheet of 4 strands with an inserted strand from another chain, nested insertion of an all-alpha domain with a cluster of helices and another nested insertion of a jelly-roll beta-sandwich (complexed with a+b outer capsid protein sigma 3 fold).

N-terminal A+B domain with long inserts, one of which forms a small helical domain. An all-alpha domain of three helices is connected by a linker to another mainly helical domain with a small all-alpha domain insert of three helices. An all-beta domain with a OB-like fold is interrupted by four large inserts, with two that form a composite domain of 6 helices, one that forms a composite domain with the first all-alpha domain, and one that forms an elongated a+b domain. A all-alpha domain with circularly permuted saposin-like fold (from another chain) exchanges with the rest.
