The protein chain is represented by all heavy atoms plus backbone hydrogen atoms.
Bond lengths and bond angles are held fixed at ideal values, with the exception of the
tau-angle (N-CA -C), which is allowed to vary in the range 108 to 114 °.
Atom radii are as follows: carbon
with double bond character = 1.50 Å all other carbon = 1.70 Å nitrogen = 1.35 Å oxygen
= 1.34 Å cysteinyl sulfur = 1.70 Å, methionyl sulfur = 1.80 Å.
