## Abstract Using the harmonic‐approximation approach of the accompanying article and AM1 energy surfaces of terminally blocked amino‐acid residues, we determined physics‐based side‐chain rotamer potentials and the side‐chain virtual‐bond‐deformation potentials of 19 natural amino‐acid residues wit
