multiple helix

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14212
Helical arrangement comprising two or more intertwined helical chains sharing the same axis.
Note: The intertwined helical chains are usually identical and displaced along the chain axis direction by \(c/n\), where \(c\) is the chain identity period of the single helix and \(n\) the number of helices in the multiple helix.
