Helixbildung
Helixbildung, also known as helix formation, is a process in which a linear polymer, such as DNA or RNA, forms a helical structure. This structure is characterized by a repeating pattern of twists and turns, resembling a spiral staircase. The helix is stabilized by various intermolecular forces, including hydrogen bonding, base stacking, and electrostatic interactions.
In the context of nucleic acids, the helix formation process begins with the pairing of complementary bases
The helical structure of nucleic acids is also important in their biological functions. For example, the double
Helixbildung is a fundamental process in biochemistry and molecular biology, with wide-ranging implications for understanding the
