Figure 9

Redefined difference between the distorted and twisted amides. Distorted amides suffer steric hindrance or ring stress with pyramidalized or non-pyramidalized N atom. Twisted amides do not exhibit any strain, with perpendicular, non-overlapping amide planes. The carbonyl and amide planes are illustrated by the parallel- or perpendicularly-oriented blue and orange colors.
