What can be deduced from a Ramachandran plot? A)the amino acid residues that have the greatest degree of rotational freedom B)the sterically allowed rotational angles between R groups and a-carbons in a peptide C)the sterically allowed rotational angles between C_αand the amide nitrogen (C_α-N),as well as between C_α and the amide carbonyl carbon (C_α-CO) D)the sterically allowed rotational angles about the amide nitrogen (NH)and CO

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Ramachandran plot shows the sterically allowed rotational angles (phi and psi) between the Cα and the amide nitrogen (Cα-N), as well as between the Cα and the amide carbonyl carbon (Cα-CO) in a peptide.
