Below is a list of kinemages and PDB files, one of each for each amino acid type, which show sidechain rotamer conformations. Click on the downward-pointing arrow in the column to download the PDB (with hydrogens added by Reduce) or a kinemage containing the rotamers for that amino acid. If desired, you can also download a compressed tar file containing all 20 kinemages or PDBs from the links given at the bottom of the table. Clicking on the rightmost column arrow will cause a new browser window to open and display the kinemage using MageJava (your browser must be java-capable). Most of the kins allow you to animate through each rotamer. The PDB files were used for making O and XtalView rotamer files, and may conceivably have other uses. Each structure is in idealized Engh and Huber geometry.
