A new pattern of regularity in the formation of chiral molecular biological system hierarchical structures is found. The formation of structures with alternating chirality (spiral structures) allows their stratification. Special attention is given to the emergence of chiral patterns in active media, and to the alternating chiral hierarchies in molecular machine structures (proteins and nucleic acids).
