A DNA molecule is often called a what because it twists like the threads of a screw?

DNA is a molecule responsible for the genetic instructions, development and functioning of living organisms. The DNA molecules that contain millions of nucleotides and is very large, called DNA polymer.


How does collagen helix differs from alpha helix?

A collagen helix is less compact (because it goes into triple helices), and it is a left-handed helix. An alpha helix is more compact and hence requires more rotation of bonds to form (hence proline is not very common...has an imidazole ring). It is a right-handed helix, and goes into double helices instead.


What are the differences between a right-handed alpha helix and a left-handed alpha helix in protein structures?

The main difference between a right-handed alpha helix and a left-handed alpha helix in protein structures is the direction in which the helix twists. In a right-handed alpha helix, the helix twists in a clockwise direction, while in a left-handed alpha helix, the helix twists in a counterclockwise direction. This difference in twisting direction affects the overall shape and stability of the protein structure.


When was Helix goderdziana created?

Helix goderdziana was described as a new land snail species in 2018.


Single helix is more stable as compared to the double helix?

The double helix of DNA is more stable than a single helix due to the hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs and the structural support provided by the sugar-phosphate backbone. The double helix structure allows for efficient storage and replication of genetic information.

What is a Helix shape?

A helix is a three-dimensional curved shape that resembles a corkscrew or spiral. It is formed by a curved line wrapping around a central axis. Helix shapes are often found in nature, such as in DNA molecules or certain types of shells.

What shape was Archimedes known for?

Archimedes is remembered (among many other things) for the Screw Pump which he invented to pump water out of a ship. It is an inclined,circular pipe containing a helix with its lower end dipped in the water. Turning the helix/screw around its shaft raises the waterin the pipe, thus liftingit and 'pumping' it to a higher level.


What is screw thread?

This is a tool that is used to measure the pitch diameter of a screw. This tool looks like a standard micrometer except that the anvils are specially configured to reach into the screw thread groove and touch the pitch diameter of the screw thread. The screw thread micrometer does not measure any other aspect of the screw thread. It does not measure the: pitch; threads-per-inch; major diameter; minor diameter; flank angles; lead; helix angle.
