Abstract.

Despite its apparent simplicity the “Ramachandran map” has been an enormously successful tool for describing and understanding protein structure. Thirty-five years after its invention, it is still used daily for checking the quality of experimental and modeled protein structures. It is, moreover, founded on a rational, reduced-coordinate model of the polypeptide chain which continues to be useful in computational attempts at predicting protein folding.
