Abstract
The past two decades have seen a tremendous increase both in the number and accuracy of amino acid, peptide, and protein crystal structure determinations. The recent strides made in computer and diffractometer technologies and methods of crystal structure determination have been primarily responsible for this increase, which has in turn made possible the study of more complex biological systems. Since protein folding is determined by amino acid sequence and residue side-chain conformation is influenced by the protein main chain conformation, knowledge of amino acid geometry and conformational flexibility is of key importance in elucidating protein structure—activity relationships. Consequently, the goal of most amino acid structural studies has been to compile accurate information concerning amino acid residue geometry, conformational flexibility among families of amino acids in various environments, and their hydrogen bonding interactions. These data are also of considerable value in energy calculations of conformational flexibility. Ultimately, this approach should provide a means of predicting three-dimensional protein structures and understanding the relationships among amino acid sequence, structure and biological properties.
