Popis:	The main types of structures consisting of adjacent and/or intersecting helices 30/11 formed by tetrahedrally coordinated atoms have been investigated. These structures are fundamentally noncrystalline. Nevertheless, they can take form of regularly folded large helices, lattices, a planar layer, rod structures, and different-level approximations to fractal structures. It is shown that such bound-water structures correspond in metric parameters, symmetry, and topology to crystals of biological macromolecules, protein shells of viruses, and biological tissues. In addition, they can store energy.
