Bending Residue Dihedral Analysis

Residue i Residue i+1 Distance of hinge axis to residue i in conformer 1 (A) Distance of hinge axis to residue i in conformer 2 (A) Change in psi (i) (deg) Change in phi (i+1) (deg) Angle of psi(i) axis to hinge axis conformer 1 (deg) Angle of psi(i) axis to hinge axis conformer 2 (deg) Percentage Progress  MET-244   MET-245  4.0 3.6 -9.5 2.8 112.8 117.0 -3.3  MET-245   PHE-246  0.4 0.3 178.8 -4.3 4.6 6.3 99.1  PHE-246   THR-247  1.3 1.4 -8.3 4.1 110.8 105.7 -2.4 Graph shows rotational transition at bending residues and can be used to identify hinge bending residues. Probably only informative for interdomain rotations greater than 20 degrees
