If you are not already somewhat familiar with polypeptide geometry, please explore the kinemage on the right. Left-drag to move the viewpoint around, and turn on & off the angle and atom labels and the H atoms with buttons on the right-hand button panel. Turn on the "spheres", to get a feeling for the bulk of the atoms and their bonded interpenetration. With spheres off, enable bond rotations under the Tools menu by choosing Specialty -> Suite rotation, which gives you a rotation widget with a choice of possible angles to rotate. Try PHI and PSI, then CHI1 and CHI2. [Don't use the "end" angles, which are a temporary artifact of the current process of updating KiNG to work with these lessons.] Left-button drag around the circle edge changes the angle quickly, right-button drag changes more slowly, and the + and - boxes very slowly.
