单词 helicity
释义

Definition of helicity in English:

helicity

noun hiːˈlɪsɪtihəˈlisədē
mass noun
  • 1Biochemistry
    Helical character, especially of DNA.

    DNA〔主生化〕(尤指DNA的)螺旋度,螺旋结构

    Example sentencesExamples
    • In addition, its helicity could be further increased.
    • Mechanistically, the expansion event begins with a slight loss of helicity in the stem region.
    • The reason for the relatively low helicity of long peptides is unclear to us.
    • One peptide was designed to maximize helicity and the other, having the same composition but a different sequence, was designed to minimize helical formation.
    • This reduced its helicity and increased its average tilt, thereby presumably reducing fusion efficiency.
  • 2Physics
    A combination of the spin and the linear motion of a subatomic particle.

    〔物理〕螺旋性

    Example sentencesExamples
    • One physicist later wrote that, had Maurice Goldhaber not existed, ‘I am not sure that the helicity of the neutrino would ever have been measured‘.
    • Linear equations can't easily capture magnetic field helicity, a property that prevents much of the field's energy from dissipating as heat.

Origin

1950s (in sense 2): from Latin helix, helic- 'spiral' + -ity.
