    Notes
    -----
    The final value is in the returned list is `None`, since the angle
    calculation requires pairs of points on both the primitive and

    Parameters
    ----------
    p : ampal.Polymer
        Reference `Polymer`.
    reference_axis : list(numpy.array or tuple or list)
        Length of reference_axis must equal length of the Polymer.
        Each element of reference_axis represents a point in R^3.
    tag : bool, optional
        If `True`, tags the `Polymer` with the reference axis coordinates
        and each Residue with its Crick angle. Crick angles are stored
        at the Residue level, but are calculated using the CA atom.
    reference_axis_name : str, optional
        Used to name the keys in tags at Chain and Residue level.

    Returns
    -------
    cr_angles : list(float)
        The crick angles in degrees for each CA atom of the Polymer.

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the Polymer and the reference_axis have unequal length.
