Category:Atomic Geometry
From Proteopedia
Atomic Geometry is one of twelve overarching themes in the Biomolecular Visualization (BioMolViz) Framework. The Framework identifies learning goals to assist in developing biomolecular visualization literacy. More information about the BioMolViz project can be found at: https://biomolviz.org/, with additional information here.
Overarching theme
Atomic Geometry (AG): three‐atom and four‐atom dihedral/torsion angles, metal size and metal‐ligand geometries, steric clashes.
Learning Goals:
AG1. Students can describe the ideal geometry for a given atom within a molecule and deviations from the ideal geometry due to neighboring interactions.
AG2. Students can compare and contrast different structural conformations with regard to energy, addition of substituents, and impact on structure/function of a macromolecule.
AG3. Students can describe the effect of dihedral/torsion angles on macromolecular structure.
