An alpha helix is a common shape that amino acid chains will form. The alpha helix is characterized by a tight right-handed twist in the amino acid chain that causes it to form a rod shape. Hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen in an amino group and the oxygen in a carboxyl group on the amino acid cause this structure.
