AdministratorShowing Dihedral AnglesTo display the dihedral angles for a model in theMeasurements table:• From the Analyze menu, point to ShowMeasurements, and then choose ShowDihedral Angles.For example, to display the dihedral angles in apenicillin molecule:1. Click the Text Building tool.2. Click in an empty model window.A text box appears.3. Type Penicillinyl and press Enter.4. From the Object menu, point to Show SerialNumbers, and then choose Show.5. Select the C(7)-N(1)-C(2)-C(8) dihedral angle.6. From the Analyze menu, point to ShowMeasurements, and then choose ShowDihedral Angles.The Measurements table appears with thedihedral angles for the penicillin molecule. TheC(7)-N(1)-C(2)-C(8) dihedral angle isapproximately 107°.Showing Close ContactsTo display the close contacts for a model in theMeasurements table:• From the Analyze menu, point to ShowMeasurements, and then choose Show CloseContacts.Two atoms are considered to be in close contact ifthe distance between them is less than or equal to thesum of their van der Waals radii. The van der Waalsradii used to determine close contacts are located inthe Atom Types table. In general, the van der Waals94 • Chapter 7: Inspecting Models <strong>CambridgeSoft</strong>Pop-up Information
