  "term": "Helix pitch",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The axial distance covered by one complete turn of a helical polymer chain. This parameter quantifies the periodicity of the helical structure along its axis. It is typically measured in nanometers and is a characteristic feature of a specific helical conformation, such as the alpha-helix in proteins.",
