In geometry, a helix (from the Greek έλιξ, spiral) is a curve in three-dimensional space, represented by a line wound at a constant angle around a cylinder.
A spring, the thread of a screw, a helical pump and the path of a spiral staircase follow the shape of a helix.
In biology, this shape is found in DNA and certain protein structures known as alpha helices. In botany, the helix is used by the tendrils of some climbing plants, although in this case it is often a conical helix (wound around a cone and not a cylinder).
If we consider a half turn of a helix and rotate it 180°, we obtain one turn. Subsequent revolutions are obtained by translation of the first one.
Thus, in graphical terms, we obtain a 'C2' frieze (according to Leonardo da Vinci classical designation, i.e. 180° rotation).
