1. Helices - Chouaieb, Nadia; Goriely, Alain; Maddocks, John H. Our first result is to complete the semi-inverse classification, initiated by Kirchhoff, of all infinite, helical equilibria of inextensible, unshearable uniform rods with elastic energies that are a general quadratic function of the flexures and twist.
5. A survey of left-handed polyproline II helices. - Stapley, B. J.; Creamer, T. P. Left-handed polyproline II helices (PPII) are contiguous elements of protein secondary structure in which the phi and psi angles of constituent residues are restricted to around -75 degrees and 145 degrees, respectively.
6. Parallel and antiparallel A*A-T intramolecular triple helices. - Dagneaux, C; Gousset, H; Shchyolkina, A K; Ouali, M; Letellier, R; Liquier, J; Florentiev, V L; Taillandier, E Intramolecular triple helices have been obtained by folding back twice oligonucleotides formed by decamers bound by non-nucleotide linkers: dA10-linker-dA10-linker-dT10 and dA10-linker-dT10-linker-dA10.

8. Synchronization of rotating helices by hydrodynamic interactions - Reichert, M.; Stark, H. The motion ofsuch organisms takes place in the regime of low Reynolds numbers where viscouseffects dominate and where the dynamics is governed by hydrodynamicinteractions.
9. Transmembrane helices predicted at 95% accuracy. - Rost, B.; Casadio, R.; Fariselli, P.; Sander, C. We describe a neural network system that predicts the locations of transmembrane helices in integral membrane proteins.
10. Creating nanocavities of tunable sizes: Hollow helices - Gong, Bing; Zeng, Huaqiang; Zhu, Jin; Yua, Lihua; Han, Yaohua; Cheng, Shizhi; Furukawa, Mako; Parra, Rubén D.; Kovalevsky, Andrey Y.; Mills, Jeffrey L.; Skrzypczak-Jankun, Ewa; Martinovic, Suzana; Smith, Richard D.; Zheng, Chong; Szyperski, Thomas; Zeng, Xiao Cheng A general strategy for creating nanocavities with tunable sizes based on the folding of unnatural oligomers is presented.
13. Fluctuating Filaments I: Statistical Mechanics of Helices - Panyukov, S.; Rabin, Y. We examine the effects of thermal fluctuations on thin elastic filaments withnon-circular cross-section and arbitrary spontaneous curvature and torsion.
17. Ribosome exit tunnel can entropically stabilize ?-helices - Ziv, Guy; Haran, Gilad; Thirumalai, D. The model helix, which is unstable in the bulk, is stabilized in a cylindrical cavity provided the diameter (D) of the cylinder exceeds a critical value D*.

19. Discovering structural correlations in alpha-helices. - Klingler, T. M.; Brutlag, D. L. We have developed a new representation for structural and functional motifs in protein sequences based on correlations between pairs of amino acids and applied it to alpha-helical and beta-sheet sequences.
20. Positional preference of proline in alpha-helices. - Kim, M. K.; Kang, Y. K. Conformational free energy calculations have been carried out for proline-containing alanine-based pentadecapeptides with the sequence Ac-(Ala)n-Pro-(Ala)m-NHMe, where n + m = 14, to figure out the positional preference of proline in alpha-helices.
