Emergency Medical Conditions If an emergency medical condition exists, the hospital must: Provide treatment until the patient is stabilized. If patient canât be stabilized, transfer the patient to a medical facility that is better able to provide the necessary treatment. The transfer of the patient must be based on the
helix (plural helixes or helices) (mathematics) A curve on the surface of a cylinder or cone such that its angle to a plane perpendicular to the axis is constant; the three-dimensional curve seen in a screw or a spiral staircase. (architecture) A small volute under the abacus of a Corinthian capital.
The alpha helix (Î±-helix) is a common secondary structure of proteins and is a righthand-coiled or spiral conformation (helix) in which every backbone N-H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C=O group of the amino acid four residues earlier (hydrogen bonding).ince the Î±-helix is defined by its hydrogen bonds and backbone conformation, the most detailed experimental evidence for Î±-helical structure comes from atomic-resolution X-ray crystallography such as the example shown at right.
