English to Croatian Medical Medical (general) molecular microbiology

Poštovane kolege, molim vas za savjet u pogledu prijevoda navedenog termina. Naime, pretpostavljam da se radi o lezijama koje iskrivljuju (narušavaju??) spiralu, no nisam posve siguran da li se ovdje prevodi kao heliks, spirala ili nešto treće. Obzirom da nisam siguran, smatram da je najbolje da se posavjetujem sa vama.
Konteksti su slijedeći:

1. XPC-RAD23B has been shown in vitro to bind better
to duplex DNA containing helix-distorting lesions, such as
cisplatin adducts, compared to undamaged DNA

2. This increased recognition of more helix-distorting lesions has
also been observed in examination of 1,3 GpXpG vs. 1,2
GpG cisplatin-DNA adducts.

3. DNA and has been shown to
induce the first structural changes in the DNA required for
NER, specifically the opening of the DNA double helix

Hvala.
