The WD40 repeat (also known as the WD or beta-transducin repeat) is a short structural motif of approximately 40 amino acids, often terminating in a tryptophan-aspartic acid (W-D) dipeptide. [2] Tandem copies of these repeats typically fold together to form a type of circular solenoid protein domain called the WD40 domain .
