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  GLU-307   ALA-308  8.0 8.3 5.4 -0.2 78.2 83.7 10.8  ALA-308   VAL-309  5.3 5.5 9.1 -11.5 132.3 135.7 10.3  VAL-309   ARG-310  7.8 7.5 1.0 1.3 109.2 110.1 -20.0  ARG-310   ALA-311  7.1 6.7 -1.7 -10.2 58.8 57.9 84.1  ALA-311   GLN-312  10.1 9.6 1.3 -8.5 121.6 122.6 31.8  GLN-312   ALA-313  11.3 11.4 -5.2 -14.2 120.7 119.8 -50.0  ALA-313   TYR-314  13.2 13.7 -59.6 55.9 42.0 50.5 48.1  TYR-314   ARG-315  16.1 16.7 2.0 -6.7 64.4 62.3 -29.1  ARG-315   LEU-316  18.2 19.1 -31.5 44.1 74.6 72.2 -21.1 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
