Video: Ramachandran Principle, Protein Atomic Clashes vs. Phi & Psi

A video with voice explanation (no music), at http://tinyurl.com/RamachandranPrincipleYouTube, with numerous animated molecular models explaining polypeptide backbones, peptide bonds, phi and psi angles with detailed illustrations of dihedral (torsion) angles. Inter-atomic clashes are shown forming and receding as phi and psi rotate, and clashes are related to the Ramachandran plot. There is a short practice quiz (immediate feedback), a Slideshow version (also in Spanish), and also an interactive version with button and checkbox controls.

Keywords:: quiz, Ramachandran principle, dihedral angles, video, clashes, inter-atomic clashes, phi and psi angles, peptide bonds
