Oct 24, 2013 at 19:42 comment added ssavec You are right, torsion angle is measured as angle of planes ABC x BCD, where you expect bond B-C to be the one, which rotates. I.e. central bond in butane.
Oct 24, 2013 at 12:06 comment added LordStryker "In torsion you discuss rotation around a bond" I didn't know this was the actual defining factor for a torsion even though its how I've always implemented it. A torsion is still the angle of two planes no?
