A schematic diagram of the constraints and the Vharm and Vrama potentials on a protein’s backbone. The blue dashed bonds indicate the pairs of atoms whose distances are kept fixed (shaken). Harmonic potentials are applied to the atom pairs connected by the red wavy lines. The potentials are used to maintain the rigidity and planarity of the peptide backbone.
