Who scientists are primarily responsible for the discovery of the structure of DNA?
The double helical structure was discovered by Watson & Crick.
Are helical viruses rod shaped?
Yes, helical viruses have a rod-shaped structure. These viruses consist of a cylindrical or helical capsid that encloses the viral genetic material, which can be DNA or RNA. The helical capsid gives these viruses their rod-shaped appearance.
What type of interaction stabilizes the secondary structure of a protein causing it to form an alpha-helix?
In an α-helix, the polypeptide backbone forms a repeating helical structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between a carbonyl oxygen and an amine hydrogen. These hydrogen bonds occur at regular intervals of one hydrogen bond every fourth amino acid and cause the polypeptide backbone to form a helix.
Describe how rhodospirillum rubrum bacteria move?
By Spirochaetes, a helical bacteria which have a specialized internal structure known as the axial filament which is responsible for rotation of the cell in a spiral fashion and consequent locomotion, sort of like a corkscrew motion. Credit: MicrobiologyBytes, Bacterial Mobility
Who offered the model of DNA molecule structure?
The helical nature was discovered by Rosalind Franklin and Watson and Crick first built the model of it.
Who scientists are primarily responsible for the discovery of the structure of DNA?
The double helical structure was discovered by Watson & Crick.
What is a helical protein?
"Helical" refers to its structure -- a helix (a spiral). See the related link below for an image.
What was the discovery of Watson and Crick?
helical structure of DNA
What is a helical virus?
A helical virus has a spiraling structure similar to a spiral staircase. The virus genome is arranged in the middle of the spiral staircase. The Tobacco mosaic virus is a helical virus.
What are helical piers used for?
Helical piers are used to provide a foundation support for various types of structures. Helical piers are mostly used when there is a soil problem prohibiting a structure from failing.
The Watson and Crick model of DNA is known as a?
Double helical structure
A helix refers to a proteins structure?
Protein is a chemical family name. Its shape may be helical. But a helical shape is of a spring type item shape.
What did Rosalind Franklin's DNA Ray suggest?
It suggested that the structure of DNA was helical.
Are helical viruses rod shaped?
Yes, helical viruses have a rod-shaped structure. These viruses consist of a cylindrical or helical capsid that encloses the viral genetic material, which can be DNA or RNA. The helical capsid gives these viruses their rod-shaped appearance.
Why DNA has helixical structure?
A helical structure is most efficient for storing huge amounts of genetic information in a small space
43 What is the shape of DNA?
DNA is double helical (like a step ladder) in structure
What type of interaction stabilizes the secondary structure of a protein causing it to form an alpha-helix?
In an α-helix, the polypeptide backbone forms a repeating helical structure that is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between a carbonyl oxygen and an amine hydrogen. These hydrogen bonds occur at regular intervals of one hydrogen bond every fourth amino acid and cause the polypeptide backbone to form a helix.
