Table 2.2. Effect of s values on χ1/χ1+2 accuracy. Rotamer libraries of diversity ranging from
0.2Å to 5.0Å, plus the all torsion rotamer library are used. The best χ1+2 accuracy is used to
determine the most effective scaling factor c. A χ angle is considered correct if within 40° of
the corresponding χ angle in the crystal sidechain conformation.
