The alpha helix ([[User:Karsten Theis/alpha helix]]) is by far the most common helix. Note that it is a right-handed helix when formed with the common L-amino acids<ref name="novotny">PMID: 15740737</ref><ref name="jourdan">PMID: 12910453</ref><ref name="moradi">PMID: 19923435</ref>. (It is left-handed when formed with D-amino acids<ref name="novotny" /><ref name="jourdan" /><ref name="moradi" />.) When viewed from either end, right-handed helices turn clockwise when followed away from you.
