  1. The disulfide bonds were separated into twenty configurations based on the sign of χ1, χ2, χ3, χ2' and χ1' angles [8]. The dihedral strain energy (DSE) and distance between the two α carbon atoms were calculated for each disulfide and the mean and 95% confidence intervals is shown for each group.
