The reaction coordinate used in this article. The backbone is shown as sticks and the spheres represent the atoms used to define the reaction coordinates. The end-to-end distance, ξ, is defined as the separation between the nitrogen on the N-terminus and the carbonyl carbon of the C-terminus. Side chains and hydrogens (except for backbone N-H hydrogens) have been removed for clarity. This figure was created using VMD (77).
