Like the other great helical structure in biology, the double helix of B-DNA, it was ultimately elucidated as much by a combination of inspired modeling coupled to sound stereo-chemical principles ...

Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the double-stranded helix of DNA to how heart muscle cells spiral in a band. Inspired by this twisty ladder, researchers from Hiroshima ...

The Triple Helix stands back to look at the whole of biology as we practice it at the turn of the century. A key question remains in development and evolution: how to explain variation.

Why is DNA almost always a right-handed helix? Same with alpha helices, the building blocks of proteins. Chirality, or handedness, is everywhere in biology, but the reasons can be a mystery.
