Alpha helix stabilizers

Alpha helix stabilizers are molecules that help maintain the structure of an alpha helix, a common shape in proteins. They do this by forming bonds or interactions that hold the helix tightly together. These stabilizers can be hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, or other chemical connections that reinforce the helical structure and make it more resistant to unfolding or breaking. Their role is important for ensuring proteins perform their functions correctly by keeping their shape stable under different conditions.
