Unraveling the Mystery of DNA's Right-Handed Helix

Biophysicist Greg Huber and his team explored the reasons behind the prevalence of chirality in biological structures such as DNA and alpha helices by studying the sphinx tile, an asymmetric shape with intrinsic handedness. Their study, "Entropy and chirality in sphinx tilings," published in Physical Review Research, revealed unexpected properties related to chirality, shedding light on the mysterious preference for right-handed helices in biological systems and the connections between geometry, chirality, and biology.
