180° ring flips of tyrosine and phenylalanine about the Cβ—C1 bond. On the left, the atom numbering is given and the [\chi^{2}] rotation axis is identified with an arrow. The drawing on the right presents a view along the Cβ—C1 bond of a flipping ring in the interior of a protein, where the broken lines indicate a transient orientation of the ring plane during the flip. The circles represent atom groups near the ring, and arrows indicate movements of atom groups during the ring flip (Wüthrich, 1986[link]).
