{wiki=Backbone-dependent_rotamer_library}
A Backbone-dependent rotamer library is a collection of pre-computed side-chain conformations (rotamers) for amino acids that take into account the influence of the protein backbone on the orientation and flexibility of the side chains. In protein structures, the side-chain conformation of amino acids can be significantly affected by their environment, particularly by the dihedral angles of the backbone.
