The tyrosine ring rotation angle (θ) for the Tyr residues in the DtpAa triple variant, calculated as explained in ref. 50 form the dihedral angles (ϕ2 = Cα − Cβ − C1 − C2 and ϕ6 = Cα − Cβ − C1 − C6) determined from the X-ray structure. The last two columns report the difference between θ and the two complementary anglesa found when using TRSSA-Y.
| Tyr number | ϕ 2 (o) | ϕ 6 (o) | θ (o) | |θ − 56.5°| | |θ − 61.5°| |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 116 | −88.49 | 90.44 | 59.025 | 2.525 | 2.475 |
| 272 | −87.82 | 85.23 | 61.295 | 4.795 | 0.205 |
| 347 | −96.14 | 87.37 | 64.385 | 7.885 | 2.885 |
| 366 | −89.5 | 88.31 | 60.595 | 4.095 | 0.905 |
The θ = 61.5° gives an identical simulated spectrum as the θ = 56.6° does, due to the symmetry of the two configurations as 56.5° + 61.5° = 118° – the angle between the two methylene protons as shown by DFT calculations.84
