Helices

Alpha helix

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a right hand-helix conformation in which every backbone N−H group hydrogen bonds to the backbone C=O group of the amino acid located four residues earlier along the protein sequence. The alpha helix is also called a classic Pauling–Corey–Branson α-helix. The name 3.613-helix is also used for this type of helix, denoting the average number of residues per helical turn, with 13 atoms being involved in the ring formed by the hydrogen bond. Among types of local structure in proteins, the α-helix is the most extreme and the most predictable from sequence, as well as the most prevalent. (Wikipedia).

Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA

We've been hearing about DNA since the third grade, and we all know that it's a double helix with little ladder rungs. But now we are ready to understand this molecule on a more fundamental level, which will enable to us to understand how this molecule can serve as the genetic code. Let's

What is DNA Structure? How to Make a Double Helix with a 3D Pen | Biology | Biochemistry

DNA is a double-helix - it looks like a twisted ladder. Its backbone is made of sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups, and the rungs of the ladder are made from 4 nitrogenous bases: Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, and Cytosine. The order of the “rungs,” or bases, is what determines what t
