Often, it is useful to determine if a torsion or conformer is not energetically favourable. This can be accomplished from an ab initio QM calculation but in the Shoichet Lab, it is more common to rule out unfavourable conformers by comparing a questionable torsion to the deposited structures in the CSD.

The generation of torsion angle distributions to determine conformational preference about single rotatable bonds is one of the most common uses of the CSD. This tutorial illustrates how Mogul, part of the CSD software can be used to rapidly determine the torsion angle preferences of substituted oxamides by inspecting occurrences of this motif in the CSD.
