| TM helix tilt (deg)a | 28.2 ± 1.7 | 29.2 ± 1.4 | 29.0 ± 1.3 | 29.4 ± 1.4 | 27.0 ± 1.2 |
| TM helix rotation (deg)b | 188.7 ± 11.9 | 185.5 ± 10.0 | 190.8 ± 8.4 | 190.8 ± 8.6 | 192.1 ± 13.2 |
Defined as the angle between the helix principal axis and the lipid bilayer normal.
Defined as the angle between the perpendicular vector (rs) from the helical axis to G28 Cα atom and the projection vector (zp) of the z axis onto the plane made by the second and third principal axes. The sign of the rotational angle becomes positive if zp × rs is in the opposite direction to the helical axis, or negative otherwise (41).
