a For the turns, the first two numbers applies to the distance between residues 2 and 3, the second to that between residues 3 and 4. The range indicated for dN (i, i+3) corresponds to the distances adopted if ψ1 varied between -180 and 180o.

b The ranges given correspond to the distances adopted by a β-methine proton if χ1 is varied between -180 and 180o.
