This in an index page pointing to several resources on these topics.
- Definitions of phi and psi:
- Simplified 3D models in JSmol that can be rotated with your mouse, and set to various dihedral angles: in English and Spanish.
|
- Animated explanation identifying the 4 atoms for phi in a polypeptide, and rotating it clockwise (positive angles) and counter-clockwise (negative angles):
-
|
- Dihedral angles in proteins: an interactive display of phi and psi dihedral angles using a model of a tripeptide.
- A regular page in Proteopedia.
- Simple presentation, featuring a 3D model with planes, clashes and animations.
|
- Phi and Psi Angles: a more detailed, guided explanation of determination and display of angles in the 3D model.
- A regular page in Proteopedia.

- The Ramachandran Plot
- A regular page in Proteopedia. Featured in an article in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2010.
- Extensive description with instructions on how to display the Ramachandran plot for any protein structure.
|
- Ramachandran Plot Inspection
- A special "Tutorial" page in Proteopedia (by Angel Herráez) and an equivalent page in Spanish
- Interactive Ramachandran plot with many controls and details, connecting the Ramachandran plot with the display on the 3D model. Includes planes, clashes and animations.
- You can display phi and psi for any pair of amino acids in any protein structure.
