and , and (b) a corresponding Ramachandran plot. In a typical Ramachandran plot of a glutamine residue, each pixel represents a bin, whose intensity represents its relative population, ranging from 1,2,,9, and 10 or more conformations, sampled in our simulations. Blue, yellow, grey, and pink clusters identify PPII, , , and regions, respectively.
