Examples of 'alpha helices' in a sentence

Meaning of "alpha helices"

Alpha helices are secondary structures found in proteins, characterized by a coiled or helical shape. These structures are formed through hydrogen bonding between the amino acids in the protein chain, resulting in a stabilized helical conformation. Alpha helices play a crucial role in protein folding, stability, and function, and are commonly found in many proteins
