WHAT RESTRICTS BACKBONE FLEXIBILITY
PEPTIDE BOND (omega angle): rigid and planar due to resonance delocalization; cannot rotate freely; essentially always trans (>99.9%); the C-N bond has ~40% double bond character. PHI ANGLE (N-Cα bond): can rotate, but restricted by steric clash between the carbonyl oxygen of the preceding residue and the R group of the current residue. PSI ANGLE (Cα-C bond): can rotate, but restricted by steric clash between the amino group of the following residue and the R group of the current residue. GLYCINE: phi and psi essen…
