(a) An easy outlier correction. The methyl of Mse351 in PDB entry 1j58, as deposited, shows several bad clashes and the side chain is a rotamer outlier. The favorable mmm rotamer fixes both problems. (b) The backrub motion, shown as a schematic of the small-amplitude backrub rotation around the Cα i − 1 to i + 1 axis with leverage on the Cα—Cβ direction and on side-chain contacts, and an example of alternate conformations in Ile47 of the 1n9b β-sheet, where the backrub shift allows good packing in two distinct rotamers. |
