Moment of inertia of an helix?

The moment of inertia of a helix (coil) can be calculated using the formula for a thin rod rotated about its end axis. The moment of inertia of a helix will depend on its radius, pitch, and total length. It involves integration to account for the helical shape.


What evidence did watson and crick use to disprove linus paulings triple helix thery?

Watson and Crick used X-ray diffraction data and molecular modeling to disprove Linus Pauling's triple helix theory of DNA. Their analysis showed that the structure of DNA was a double helix, not a triple helix as proposed by Pauling. This discovery revolutionized the understanding of DNA structure and function.


Does the helix nebula have gravity?

All bodies that have mass, have gravity. The Helix Nebula is a large planetary nebula and will have "loads" of gravity.


What are the benefits of using the Helix Cloud platform for data storage and management?

The Helix Cloud platform offers benefits such as secure data storage, easy access from anywhere, scalability to accommodate growing data needs, and efficient data management tools.


Three-dimensional model developed by Watson and crick?

Watson and Crick developed the double helix model to represent the structure of DNA in three dimensions. This model consists of two intertwined strands forming a twisted ladder shape, with nucleotide bases on the inside and sugar-phosphate backbones on the outside. The double helix structure of DNA allows for efficient replication and transmission of genetic information.

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.
