The alpha helix is also commonly called a: Pauling–Corey–Branson α-helix (from the names of three scientists who described its structure); 3.6 13-helix because there are 3.6 amino acids in one ring, with 13 atoms being involved in the ring formed by the hydrogen bond (starting with amidic hydrogen and ending with carbonyl oxygen)
English: Codons sun ("codesonne" in german); shows which base sequence encodes which amino acid; vectorized from png file Français : Le soleil à codons ("codesonne" en allemand); montrant le Code génétique sous une forme originale.

A protein contact map represents the distance between all possible amino acid residue pairs of a three-dimensional protein structure using a binary two-dimensional matrix. For two residues i {\displaystyle i} and j {\displaystyle j} , the i j {\displaystyle ij} element of the matrix is 1 if the two residues are closer than a predetermined ...
Codon–amino acids mappings may be the biological information system at the primordial origin of life on Earth. [122] While amino acids and consequently simple peptides must have formed under different experimentally probed geochemical scenarios, the transition from an abiotic world to the first life forms is to a large extent still unresolved ...
The first table—the standard table—can be used to translate nucleotide triplets into the corresponding amino acid or appropriate signal if it is a start or stop codon. The second table, appropriately called the inverse, does the opposite: it can be used to deduce a possible triplet code if the amino acid is known.
The first widely used techniques to predict protein secondary structure from the amino acid sequence were the Chou–Fasman method [17] [18] [19] and the GOR method. [20] Although such methods claimed to achieve ~60% accurate in predicting which of the three states (helix/sheet/coil) a residue adopts, blind computing assessments later showed ...
An unnatural base pair (UBP) is a designed subunit (or nucleobase) of DNA which is created in a laboratory and does not occur in nature. DNA sequences have been described which use newly created nucleobases to form a third base pair, in addition to the two base pairs found in nature, A-T (adenine – thymine) and G-C (guanine – cytosine).
