title: Rotamer libraries in the 21st century.
abstract: Rotamer libraries are widely used in protein structure prediction, protein design, and structure refinement. As the size of the structure data base has increased rapidly in recent years, it has become possible to derive well-refined rotamer libraries using strict criteria for data inclusion and for studying dependence of rotamer populations and dihedral angles on local structural features.
