Proteins constitute a large group of macromolecules with a multitude of functions for all living organisms. Proteins achieve this by adopting distinct three-dimensional structures encoded by the sequence of their constituent amino acids in one or more polypeptides. In this paper, the statistical modelling of the protein backbone torsion angles is considered. Two new distributions are proposed for toroidal data by applying the Mobius transformation to the bivariate von Mises distribution. Marginal and conditional distributions in addition to sine-skew
