Ramachandran Analysis of Protein Backbone Dihedral Angles
Ramachandran Analysis of Protein Backbone Dihedral Angles
This Demonstration shows the distribution of backbone dihedral angles for each amino acid in a representative set of human proteins tabulated in Mathematica via the ProteinData command. Available conformations are restricted due to steric clashes of the side chains; Ramachandran analysis reveals that certain conformations are preferentially accessible to amino acids.
