[Biosublicons]

Biosublicon is an ice cylindrical thread on the surface of which a continuous helix of chain biopolymers is packed. Such structures are spontaneously formed during sublimation of frozen aqueous solutions of biopolymers with simultaneous illumination (lambda greater than 220 nm). Biosublicons are produced from diluted solutions containing a racemate mixture of amino acids and nucleotides. Their peculiar formation is discussed.
