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.


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 word describes the shape of a DNA molecule?

Its actually two wi=ords; Thehy are 'Double Helix'.


What is Watson and Crick's DNA model?

Watson and Crick's DNA model is a double helix structure, where two strands of DNA wind around each other. They proposed this model in 1953, based on X-ray crystallography data collected by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Their model explained how genetic information is stored and replicated in the DNA molecule.
