Residue.alpha -- $ \alpha $ dihedral angle

This is a Dihedral object, with information about the residue's $ \alpha $ dihedral (i.e., the virtual dihedral between four successive $ {C}_\alpha$ atoms, starting with the previous residue); see Residue.phi for more information. Not available for alignment sequence residues.
