The two chains are separated at the N-termini. Those helices are kinked or bent around Lys 23, and meet around Ile 40. At that point they start a left-handed coiled-coil. That straightens out to a short region of purely parallel chains (around 55-75), and then twists to a right-handed coiled coil towards the C-terminus. At the C-termini the chains have greatly different conformations, with one completely helical including a 90 degree bend towards F1. The other chain has residues 145-156 in an irregular conformation, bending back and not contacting F1.
