Question

Why right handed helical structure is more stable than left handed structure

Answer 1

The alpha helix is stable: it has an optimal backbone H-bonding geometry that enthalpically makes up for the loss of entropy inherent in structural formation. Interestingly, due to the H-bond pattern, the right hand helix is much more stable than the left hand helix (for L-amino acids)*
