Saved, great write up, that bit about 3 strands was a reference to the spike protein btw.

Fair enough , I should have assumed you meant such, but the spike protein after folding is a very convoluted little beast, confirmed by S.E.M. imaging and rendered by bioinformatic protein software from its sequence back in January 2020, based on earlier SARS-1 imaging.
Its just that the spike is one protein (S-2P protein) with two common stable folding shapes, not three, though probabilistic alternative 3D foldings are possible :
