| In the early 1960’s,
| |
| <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G._N._Ramachandran" target="_blank">G. N. Ramachandran</a>
| |
| (University of Madras, India) and coworkers
| |
| computationally determined the phi and psi angles that avoid steric collisions,
| |
| initially treating the atoms simply as rigid spheres<sup>5, 6</sup>.
| |
| They showed that the physically allowed angle combinations (that avoid clashes) correspond largely
| |
| to the secondary structures observed in proteins:
| |
| <a href="http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Secondary_structure" target="_blank">
| |
| alpha helices, beta sheets, and turns</a>.
| |
|
| |
| </p><p>
| |
| Ramachandran and team also showed that the major effect of sidechains on the allowed phi and psi
| |
| angles is due to C<sub>β</sub> <sup>2</sup>.
| |
| Sidechains larger than that of alanine affect the allowed
| |
| angles by only a few percent <sup>7, 8</sup>.
| |
|
| |
| </p><p>

| Actually, the <i>van der Waals</i> checkbox shows the atoms at 88% of their true
| |
| <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_radius" target="_blank">van der Waals radii</a>.
| |
| In the above simulation, clashes are reported when 88% of the true radii overlap.
| |
| This is in accord with the observations of
| |
| Ramachandran and Sasisekharan<sup>6</sup>, who found that allowed interatomic distances
| |
| for non-bonded atoms are ~0.4 Å less than their van der Waals radii<sup>10</sup>.
| |
| The van der Waals radius of carbon is 1.7 Å. Thus, the van der Waals distance between
| |
| the centers of two non-bonded carbon atoms is 3.4 Å. However the minimum allowed distance
| |
| is about 0.4 Å less, which is 12% less. Thus 88% of the true van der Waals radii was
| |
| used in the above simulation for detection of "clashes".

| |
| Ramachandran and Sasisekharan<sup>6</sup> determined inter-atomic distances of
| |
| closest approach of non-bonded atoms from crystal structures. For each pair of elements
| |
| (their Table VI), they determined an allowed distance, and a partially allowed distance.
| |
| Distances less than the partially allowed values are “very unlikely” to occur due to
| |
| steric repulsion. The allowed distances are 0.3 to 0.5 Å less than the
| |
| <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_radius" target="_blank">van der Waals radii</a>.
| |
| (their page 327).
| |
| The partially allowed distances are usually 0.1 Å, sometimes 0.2 Å,
| |
| less than the allowed distances.
