From wikipedia:

"The Rossmann fold is a protein structural motif found in proteins that bind nucleotides, especially the cofactor NAD. The structure is composed of three or more parallel beta strands linked by two alpha helices in the topological order beta-alpha-beta-alpha-beta."

The Rossmann fold is a protein structural motif that typically consists of a six-stranded parallel Beta sheet and four Alpha helices. The arrangement is a pair of structurally similar beta-alpha-beta-alpha-beta motifs.
