Table 1.

Numerical values of the internal angles and dihedral coordinates in the all-atom and CG representation. Typical values for secondary structures are reported. Data for ϕ and ψ were taken from textbooks[19, 20], the corresponding structures were built with the biopolymer module of Insight (MSI/Accelrys) and from those structures the θ and α angles were measured.
