Talk:Ramachandran plot

message: In the first figure, Omega is shown for residue i-1. It should be shown above phi, on the next C-N bond, not where it is now. I cite Ramachandran, 1968 -- [] Hansonrstolaf (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone please add a list of (free) software that can calculate the Ramachandran plot for a given PDB (or whatever) file. Smoe
I added a link to this page:   http://www.fos.su.se/~pdbdna/input_Raman.html

This article doesn't really address anything useful... I still have no idea how a Ramachandran plot is obtained or why. Please add some introductory information, or link to articles with appropriate background. 128.148.31.211 (talk) 17:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this article is deeply flawed because the introduction immeditely starts out in technical jargon whose terms are not defined.  It needs a plain english language introduction before jumping into greek (literally and figuratively).  See comments below (Initial Rework of Page). Lapabc (talk) 13:56, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Please some one add the procedure to calculate the amino acids present in different areas of ramachandran plot and also tell the criteria of amino acids to be in defferent areas of plot. thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.68.111.82 (talk) 10:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I've started on a rework that tries to address the many very good points about what was incomplete or misleading in the earlier version.Dcrjsr (talk) 20:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As stated previously, this article needs a non-technical, jargon-free introductory paragraph.  Then let the technical discussion flow. Further, there should NEVER be a refernce embedded in the text.  This article contained references embedded in each of the first four sentences, making it even harder for people to cut through the jargon.  (I corrected this problem and changed them to citations with the references showing up in... the Reference Section) Lapabc (talk) 14:09, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Please clarify how the zero value, positive and negative values of phy and psy are being calculated? Where is the frame of reference? Which way I have to look at the atoms to count the dihedral angles? We need at least four atoms to define a dihedral angle. Which four atoms we are using for phy? and which four atoms for psy? and from which orientation we have to look at the structure to count the positive or negative sense of phy and psy?  can anybody please clear these things up? 2409:4060:11E:BADD:0:0:1430:F0AC (talk) 14:59, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
