                                                γ-Turn


Consists of 3 amino acids, generally termed as i, i + 1 and i + 2

H-bond is seen between i and i + 2 (First and Third residue)

The conformation of i + 1 is crucial and on the basis of this, they are classified into 2 groups

The dihedral angles of residue i + 1 are (70, -60) and (-70, 60) of the classical and inverse gamma turns
