_geom_torsion.max

Definition:

   

      Maximum torsion angle bounded by the four atom sites 
      identified by the _geom_torsion_atom_site_label_ codes. 
      These must match labels specified as _atom_site.label 
      in the atom list. The torsion-angle definition should 
      be that of Klyne and Prelog (1960).
      Reference: Klyne, W. & Prelog, V. (1960).
