  2. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    However, the rhombohedral axes are often shown (for the rhombohedral lattice) in textbooks because this cell reveals the 3 m symmetry of the crystal lattice. The rhombohedral unit cell for the hexagonal Bravais lattice is the D-centered [ 1 ] cell, consisting of two additional lattice points which occupy one body diagonal of the unit cell with ...

    The point symmetry of a structure can be further described as follows. Consider the points that make up the structure, and reflect them all through a single point, so that (x,y,z) becomes (−x,−y,−z). This is the 'inverted structure'. If the original structure and inverted structure are identical, then the structure is centrosymmetric.

  4. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    DNA structure and bases A-B-Z-DNA Side View. Tertiary structure refers to the locations of the atoms in three-dimensional space, taking into consideration geometrical and steric constraints. It is a higher order than the secondary structure, in which large-scale folding in a linear polymer occurs and the entire chain is folded into a specific 3 ...

  6. Molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    Octahedral: Octa-signifies eight, and -hedral relates to a face of a solid, so "octahedral" means "having eight faces". The bond angle is 90 degrees. For example, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) is an octahedral molecule. Trigonal pyramidal: A trigonal pyramidal molecule has a pyramid-like shape with a triangular base. Unlike the linear and trigonal ...

  7. Space group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_group

    If the crystal system is trigonal, then the lattice system is hexagonal unless the space group is one of the seven in the rhombohedral lattice system consisting of the 7 trigonal space groups in the table above whose name begins with R. (The term rhombohedral system is also sometimes used as an alternative name for the whole trigonal system.)

  8. Rhombohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombohedron

    It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. A rhombohedron has two opposite apices at which all face angles are equal; a prolate rhombohedron has this common angle acute, and an oblate rhombohedron has an obtuse angle at these vertices.

  9. Nucleic acid double helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_double_helix

    The double-helix model of DNA structure was first published in the journal Nature by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, [6] (X,Y,Z coordinates in 1954 [7]) based on the work of Rosalind Franklin and her student Raymond Gosling, who took the crucial X-ray diffraction image of DNA labeled as "Photo 51", [8] [9] and Maurice Wilkins, Alexander Stokes, and Herbert Wilson, [10] and base-pairing ...
