Аннотация:NMR spectroscopy is a widely used approach for protein solution structure calculation. However determination of the conformations for small peptides, which undergo fast molecular motions, remains to be challenge due to the lack of sufficient number of conformational restraints.
Here we report the novel protocol for small peptide structure refinement using NMR-derived restraints in explicit water environment. The developed algorithm substantially increases quality of structures, in particular Ramachandran plot statistics, and decreases RMSD for backbone heavy atoms within the family of calculated models. The described protocol can be used for the determination of short peptide solution conformations and for optimization of larger protein models, which contains poorly structures fragments.
