    "abstract": "Using an exact solution for the pair interaction potential, we show that\nlong, rigid, chiral molecules with helical surface charge patterns have a\npreferential interaxial angle ~((RH)^1/2)/L, where L is the length of the\nmolecules, R is the closest distance between their axes, and H is the helical\npitch. Estimates based on this formula suggest a solution for the puzzle of\nsmall interaxial angles in a-helix bundles and in cholesteric phases of DNA.",
