Figure 1
The planar angles as obtained from a model of crambin refined at 0.83 Å resolution by the full-matrix least-squares method without constraints (the disordered elements were minimally constrained; Stec et al., 1995BB7). The N—Cα—C theoretical curve represents the result of ab inito quantum-mechanical optimization as obtained by Van Alsenoy et al. (1998BB9). There is a remarkable agreement between the high-resolution crystal structure and the result of the quantum-mechanical optimization. Below the curves, the excerpt from the PDB sequence viewer is shown to visualize the secondary structure (purple wavy line) and the disulfide bonds (green broken line). A clear correlation between the general behavior of the planar angles and the secondary-structure elements is visible.
