  2. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    The pitch of a helix is the height of one complete helix turn, measured parallel to the axis of the helix. A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. [3] A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of ...

  3. List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    This is a list of roots, suffixes, and prefixes used in medical terminology, their meanings, and their etymologies. Most of them are combining forms in Neo-Latin and hence international scientific vocabulary. There are a few general rules about how they combine.

  4. Protein secondary structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_secondary_structure

    If the helix or sheet hydrogen bonding pattern is too short they are designated as T or B, respectively. Other protein secondary structure assignment categories exist (sharp turns, Omega loops, etc.), but they are less frequently used. Secondary structure is defined by hydrogen bonding, so the

  5. Anatomical terminology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terminology

    Anatomical terminology is a specialized system of terms used by anatomists, zoologists, and health professionals, such as doctors, surgeons, and pharmacists, to describe the structures and functions of the body.

  6. Alpha helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_helix

    Three-dimensional structure [1] of an alpha helix in the protein crambin. An alpha helix (or α-helix) is a sequence of amino acids in a protein that are twisted into a coil (a helix). The alpha helix is the most common structural arrangement in the secondary structure of proteins. It is also the most extreme type of local structure, and it is ...

  8. 310 helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/310_helix

    The amino acids in a 3 10-helix are arranged in a right-handed helical structure. Each amino acid corresponds to a 120° turn in the helix (i.e., the helix has three residues per turn), and a translation of 2.0 Å (0.20 nm) along the helical axis, and has 10 atoms in the ring formed by making the hydrogen bond.

  9. List of human-based units of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human-based_units...

    Lichas - thumb length. This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric.
