Figure 1. Torque between two residues.
The torsional inertia is determined from the length of the rotational radius and the mass of the object. The components of torque in the polypeptide chain are displayed.
Figure 2. Difference of torque among various bond angles.
The magnitude of the torque varies according to the angles of bending of the rotating from stalled residues. The torque is maximized as it turns orthogonally while it vanishes when it turns in parallel.
