VDW is the vdw radii-scaling factor, ε is the distance-dependent dielectric constant. False positives and false negatives are listed when compared to knowledge-based αAA rotamer library of 48 rotameric states. ‘Good’ (positive) and ‘bad’ (negative) rotamers have odds ratio RNobs of >0.1 and <0.01 respectively.
