Torsion angles phi and psi are critical for determining the three dimensional structures of bio-molecules. Combinations of phi and psi torsion angles that produce clashes between atoms in the bio-molecule result in high energy, unlikely structures. This model uses a Von Mises distribution to propose torsion angles for the structure of a glycan molecule (pdb id: 2LIQ), and a Potential to estimate the proposed structures energy. Said Potential is bound by Boltzman's law.
