Fig 7. Definition of helical parameters with an oligopeptide helix backbone (nitrogens in blue).

Fig 7

Left: Helix winding (Ω) is the angle between two adjacent Cα vectors (n = residues-per-turn/360). Right: Helix pitch (p) is the rise-per-residue, or vertical distance between Ω adjacent residues, projected on the helical axis.
