molecular playbook

I’m reading this interesting paper (DOI: 10.1021/ja067068k) that explores the structural (in)stability of beta-hairpins upon arsenic binding to cysteins. I was enjoying and understanding the paper until I saw this figure:

Huh? Does this look like a football play to anyone else? Is this normal for NOE? Can someone enlighten me?

    Totally looks like a play. All that’s missing are the x’s and o’s.

    Doesn’t this just show which protons are coupled through space? Not the most artistic way to represent it though.
