Similarly,
So
Then we calculate the triple product
Therefore, in the old convention,
and in the new convention,
The plus sign is very important in the new convention, in order not to be
contused with the old convention.
BOND DISTANCES AND BOND ANGLES
The above set of atomic coordinates can also be used to calculate the bond
distances and bond angles of the peptide backbone. The bond distances are:
