Detailed Description

Rotamer class.

This class is used to describe rotamers, i.e. rotational conformers, of amino acid side chains. These rotamers correspond to different low-energy conformations. Rotamers can also be used to store and retrieve specific conformations of a side chain. In principle, a rotamer object is just a list containing the side chain torsion angles (up to four) and the probability of that rotamer (useful only in the context of rotamer libraries).
