Answer / kavitha sankarasubbu mk univer
A plot used by biologists to display the pairs of angles (ϕ,
ψ) that govern the twists in the chain of amino-acids
forming a protein. Each pair of angles is represented by a
point in a square whose limits, on each axis, correspond to
(−180°, 180°).

Answer / deepak meena
ramchandran plot is statical and graphical approach in field
of bioinformatic to demonstrate and illustrate the
convieniency and suitability of amino acid rasidue in
protien on the basis of magnitude of their dihedral angle value.

Answer / baljinder gill
Atoms were treated as hard spheres and dihedral (φ and ψ) angles which cause spheres to collide correspond to sterically disallowed conformations (atoms come closer than sum of van der Waals radii) sterically allowed conformations of the polypeptide backbone (energetic stabilized).
Used computer models of small polypeptides to systematically vary φ and ψ with the objective of finding stable conformations. Ramachandran plot tells about the permitted (allowed)and disallowed rotation of dihedral angles and gives information about the stabilized structure or allowed structure of proteins (why alpha helix is more stable than beta sheet).

Answer / hiranmayee mohapatra
A Ramachandran plot (also known as a Ramachandran map or a
Ramachandran diagram or a [φ,ψ] plot), developed by
Gopalasamudram Narayana Ramachandran and Viswanathan
Sasisekharan shows the possible conformations of ψ and φ
angles for a polypeptide.

Answer / priyank
Ramachandran plot gives us idea about the orientation of
free side chain through what angle the orientation would
take place which depend up on the distance between the two
free side chain different aminoacid have different angle of
rotation that is diagramatically represented by ramachandran
the ramachandran plot application is that different
conformational changes in protien coould be known

Answer / nafis raj
Ramchandran plot is signify the dihedral angle of amino acid
residues of polypeptide chain of psi against thata angle.
its application to allowing or dissallowing the aminoacid in
polypeptide chain or protein

Answer / pvrd
To visualize angles of dihedral angles psi against phi of
aminoacid residues in protein structure.For any polypeptide
it shows possible conformation of psi and phi angles

Answer / dfgd
A Ramachandran plot (also known as a Ramachandran map or a
Ramachandran diagram), developed by Gopalasamudram Narayana
Ramachandran, is a way to visualize dihedral angles φ
against ψ of amino acid residues in protein structure.
It
shows the possible conformations of φ and ψ
angles for a
polypeptide.
