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 have developed an ...

Doubly stapled α-helix consisting only of achiral amino acids. Its one-handed form can be isolated because the interconversion between the right- and left-handed forms is almost completely suppressed.

Scientists at Hiroshima University developed brand-new helical supramolecular polymer chains from chirally twisted macrocyclic monomers. Helical structures are ubiquitous across biology, from the ...
