What earring is best for a cartilage piercing?
Do you need different earrings to pierce cartilage? With cartilage piercings, it’s recommended that you are initially pierced with a gold or titanium stud (typically flat-backed), as these are less likely to cause a reaction, easier to heal, and allow for any post-piercing swelling.
What is a helix chain?
An alpha helix is a type of secondary structure, i.e. a description of how the main chain of a protein is arranged in space. It is a repetitive regular secondary structure (just like the beta strand), i.e. all residues have similar conformation and hydrogen bonding, and it can be of arbitrary length.
Can you put regular earrings in cartilage piercings?
Cartilage piercings take 6 months to a year to heal, not weeks. Yes, but I recommend switching between cartilage and regular jewelry, otherwise the piercing will reduce the size of normal jewelry. If you pierce the cartilage with ordinary jewelry, you will not be able to put cartilage jewelry on it.
What does an alpha helix look like?
The alpha helix is a rod-like structure whose inner section is formed by a tightly coiled main chain, with its side chains extending outward in a helical array. The alpha helix structure takes advantage of the hydrogen bond between CO and NH groups of the main chain to stabilize.
Why is the alpha helix so prevalent?
Some amino acids are particularly likely to form an alpha helix, but some, like proline, are too large and get in the way. Alpha helices are low-energy and stable, which is why they are the most common secondary structure.
