Helical Coil

A helical coil is a conductor or filament wound into a three-dimensional spiral, a geometry that combines repeated turns with a compact length and produces important electrical, magnetic, and mechanical effects. When electric current flows through the turns, their magnetic fields reinforce along the coil’s axis, producing an electromagnet-like field; changing current also induces a voltage and stores energy in the coil’s magnetic field. Helical coils therefore serve as inductors, antenna elements, and electromagnetic actuators, while their elastic form supports spring design and experiments involving force, field distribution, inductance, and resonance.

We present a combination of Cryo-electron microscopy, lipid nanotechnology, and structure analysis applied to resolve the membrane-bound structure of two highly homologous FVIII forms: human and porcine. The methodology developed in our laboratory to helically organize the two functional recombinant FVIII forms on negatively charged lipid nanotubes (LNT) is described.

Self-assembling Morphologies Obtained from Helical Polycarbodiimide Copolymers and Their Triazole Derivatives

Here, we present a protocol to prepare and visualize secondary structures (e.g., fibers, toroidal architectures, and nano-spheres) derived from helical polycarbodiimides. The morphology characterized by both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was shown to depend on molecular structure, concentration, and the solvent of choice.
