_struct_mon_nucl.P

Definition:

   P is the phase angle of pseudorotation for five-membered rings.
   For ribose and deoxyribose sugars in nucleic
   acids
              (tau4 +tau1)-(tau3+tau0)
   P = ATAN (-------------------------)
               2tau2 (sin 36+sin 72)

   If tau2 is <0, then P=P+180 degree (Altona & Sundaralingam,
   1972).
