Preferred Label : Protein Conformation, alpha-Helical;
MeSH definition : A secondary structure of proteins that is a right-handed helix or coil, where each
amino (N-H) group of the peptide backbone contributes a hydrogen bond to the carbonyl(C
O) group of the amino acid four residues N-terminal to it (n-4). It is the most common
type of secondary structure.;
