WHAT DOES DIHEDRAL ANGLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dihedral angle

In geometry, a dihedral or torsion angle is the angle between two planes. Figure 1: Dihedral angle of three vectors, defined as an exterior spherical angle. The longer and shorter black segments are arcs of the great circles passing through and and through and, respectively. Figure 2: Dihedral angle defined by three bond vectors connecting four atoms. Figure 3: Dihedral angle defined by three bond vectors connecting four atoms. From this perspective, the second bond vector is coming out of the page. Figure 4: The backbone dihedral angles of proteins. The dihedral angle of two planes can be seen by looking at the planes "edge on", i.e., along their line of intersection. The dihedral angle between two planes denoted A and B is the angle between their two normal unit vectors and: A dihedral angle can be signed; for example, the dihedral angle can be defined as the angle through which plane A must be rotated to align it with plane B. Thus,. For precision, one should specify the angle or its supplement, since both rotations will cause the planes to coincide.
