The phi angle is defined by (1) the carboxy carbon from the previous amino acid; (2) N in the amino acid containing the phi bond; (3) Cα in the amino acid containing the phi bond; and (4) the carboxy carbon of the amino acid containing the phi bond.

2. The number of phi and psi angles in an isolated amino acid (not in a polypeptide chain) is:

→The phi angle involves the carboxy carbon of the previous amino acid in a polypeptide chain. The psi angle involves the N of the subsequent amino acid. Therefore an isolated single amino acid has neither phi nor psi angles.

3. The number of atoms held into a geometric plane by a peptide bond is:
