+ | ====== Helix ======= | ||
+ | |||
+ | A helix is formed by a polypeptide chain with repeating phi and psi angles. | ||
+ | Its geometry is defined by the number of residues per turn, and the rise per residue. | ||
+ | In principle the polypeptide chain can form right and left handed helices with | ||
+ | a range of pitches. | ||
