Characterization of Hidden Chirality: Two-Fold Helicity in β-Strands
A β-strand is a component of a β-sheet and is an important structural motif in biomolecules. An α-helix has clear helicity, while chirality of a β-strand had been discussed on the basis of molecular twists generated by forming hydrogen bonds in parallel or non-par...
