Rotamer

In chemistry, rotamers are chemical species that differ from one another primarily due to rotations about one single bond. Various arrangements of atoms in a molecule that differ by rotation about sin
Equilibrium distribution of two conformers at various temperatures given the free energy of their interconversion.
Maximum and minimum

In mathematical analysis, the maximum and minimum of a function are, respectively, the greatest and least value taken by the function. Known generically as extrema, they may be defined either within a

…arrangements of atoms in a molecule that differ by rotation about single bonds can also be referred to as conformations. Conformations, which represent local minima on the potential energy surface, are called conformers. Conformers can differ from one another due to rotation of multiple bonds; rotamers are a subset…
