53. For such purposes, the torsional angles were appropriately adjusted to be less than 90° (where 90° corresponds to the orthogonal conformation of a peripheral ring to the central plane) while still maintaining their sign. Published coordinates refer to an arbitrarily chosen sense of chirality; (180° - dihedral angle) generates the enantiomeric structure.
54. The symmetry operations of the molecular frame convert a given conformation (or representative point, p(φi,φ)) into a set of equivalent, isometric conformations (or points).
55. 4) - 3 where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and N is the number of data points. Kurtosis is based on the size of a distribution's tails, with values corresponding to a high peak (> 0), a flat-topped curve (< 0), or a normal distribution (= 0).
