An example of a double helix in molecular biology is the nucleic acid double helix. An example of a conic helix is the Corkscrew roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park. Some curves found in nature consist of multiple helices of different handedness joined together by transitions known as tendril perversions.
Its name derives from its similarity to the helix: for every point on the helicoid, there is a helix contained in the helicoid which passes through that point. The helicoid is also a ruled surface (and a right conoid), meaning that it is a trace of a line. Alternatively, for any point on the surface, there is a line on the surface passing ...
An Archimedean spiral (black), a helix (green), and a conical spiral (red) Two major definitions of "spiral" in the American Heritage Dictionary are: [5]. a curve on a plane that winds around a fixed center point at a continuously increasing or decreasing distance from the point.
Helix. Hemihelix, a quasi-helical shape characterized by multiple tendril perversions; Tendril perversion (a transition between back-to-back helices) Seiffert's spiral

In mathematics, a conical spiral, also known as a conical helix, [1] is a space curve on a right circular cone, whose floor projection is a plane spiral. If the floor projection is a logarithmic spiral , it is called conchospiral (from conch ).

For example, the self-splicing group I intron relies on tetraloop receptor motifs for its structure and function. [25] [40] Specifically, the three adenine residues of the canonical GAAA motif stack on top of the receptor helix and form multiple stabilizing hydrogen bonds with the receptor. The first adenine of the GAAA sequence forms a triple ...
