Modelgeometricalconstrains • R1 is a spatial restriction that designates the distance between the two carbons of the hydrogen bonded residues R1 = rij = rj− ri • R2 is an orientational restrain which computes the cosine of the angle associated to the relative orientation between the auxiliary vectors of both residues • R2 = cos(hi, hj) • R3 is also an orientational quantity that computes the cosine of the angle between the direction of the tentative hydrogen bond in the model and each of the auxiliary vectors; thus, R3 is independently calculated for both i and j beads R3i and R3j • R3 = cos(hi, rij)
