For two residues ${\displaystyle i}$ and ${\displaystyle j}$, the ${\displaystyle ij}$ element of the matrix is 1 if the two residues are closer than a predetermined threshold, and 0 otherwise. + +### Distance Map + +protein distance map is a two-dimensional matrix, where each value represents a residue–residue distance. Its binary form is known as a contact map.
