VGM angles were calculated by way of VGM software (K. Yap, University of Toronto) using the helices and structures indicated.

The residues used for the VGM calculations were as follows: helix I, residues 10–17; helix II, residues 29–39; helix III, residues 53–60; and helix IV, residues 70–80.

Calculated using PDB entry 1MHO.
