Although I know the information exists to support it, I find it difficult to "see' the torque vector on a given residue.
Obviously, the magnitude is shown by the coloration, but direction (the other component of a vector) is not very pronounced. For instance, when working with sheets, it's easy enough to tell that something *is or *isn't torqued, but the direction shown by the graphic representation is often misleading. Helical sections are a bit more clear, in that one can surmise the direction by the orientation of the side chain with respect to a cross section of the tube used to construct the element. However, with loops, although at some viewing angles there is *some indication that the loop is twisted, once one zzom in that indicator often dissappears.
it' would be helpful to update the graphical models to accentuate the twist (torque) so that direction can be more easily gleened from the visualization.
