This table lists the maximum value of each angle distribution. Numbers separated by commas correspond to main maxima in multimodal distributions. Numbers is square brackets separated by a dash indicate a range of values without a clear maximum. Numbers not surrounded by parentheses correspond to anti conformations, while number in parentheses correspond to syn conformations (PQ models are all anti). In antiparallel quadruplexes, if there is only one or several entries but none in parentheses for a given angle in a column, it simply means that both syn and anti conformations share those maxima or range of the distributions.
