Pi heliks

Pi heliks (π-heliks) je tip sekundarne strukture proteina.^[1] π-heliksi su prisutni u oko 15% poznatih struktura. Smatra se da su evoluciona adaptacija formirana umetanjem jedne aminokiseline u α-heliks.^[2] Pošto su takva umetanja veoma destabilišuća,^[3] do formiranja π-heliksa obično ne dolazi, osim ako to pruža funkcionalnu prednost proteinu. π-heliksi su stoga tipično prisutni u blizini funkcionalnih mesta proteina.^[2]^[4]^[5]
