Representation of protein entities (RoPE), based on torsion angles, derives an interpretable conformational space which correlates with data collection temperature, resolution and reaction coordinate. This indicates that torsion angles are a more sensitive and biologically relevant descriptor for protein conformation than atomic coordinates.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
