Dissection of Factors Affecting the Variability of the Peptide Bond Geometry and Planarity

Table 4

Average values of bond angles with standard deviations and occurrences (in bracket) of non-Gly/non-Pro residues in β-structure in the 15°  × 15° boxes centered at = (−120°, 130°) and = (−60°, 150°). The differences between the average values of the distributions and the statistical significance of these differences ( value) are reported.
