Note that analogous experiments, such as the 13C-edited HSQC—NOESY,72 can be performed on 13C-labeled proteins. For labeled proteins, this latter experiment provides the largest number of conformational restraints for protein structure calculations (see Section 9.09.5.2). The 15N-edited NOESY-HSQC only provides distance information for protons that are close in space to amide protons (since magnetization originates and/or terminates...

To find appropriate empirical pair potentials from the known protein structures in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank, it is necessary to calculate densities for the distance distribution of Ga-atoms at given bond distance d and given residue assignments ai,a2- Up to a constant factor that is immaterial for subsequent structure determination by global optimization, the potentials then ciiiergo as the negative logarithm of the densities.

A completely new method of determining siufaces arises from the enormous developments in electron microscopy. In contrast to the above-mentioned methods where the surfaces were calculated, molecular surfaces can be determined experimentally through new technologies such as electron cryomicroscopy [188]. Here, the molecular surface is limited by the resolution of the experimental instruments. Current methods can reach resolutions down to about 10 A, which allows the visualization of protein structures and secondary structure elements [189]. The advantage of this method is that it can be apphed to derive molecular structures of maaomolecules in the native state.

Most potential energy surfaces are extremely complex. Fiber and Karplus analyzed a 300 psec molecular dynamics trajectory of the protein myoglobin. They estimate that 2000 thermally accessible minima exist near the native protein structure. The total number of conformations is even larger. Dill derived a formula to calculate the upper bound of thermally accessible conformations in a protein. Using this formula, a protein of 150 residues (the approx-... 

With mostly unambiguous data, this protocol has been successfully used for proteins with up to 160 residues [62]. Although virtually all structures converge to the correct fold for small proteins, we observe that approximately one-third of the structures are misfolded for larger proteins, or for low data density, or many ambiguities (see, e.g.. Ref. 63). We have also used this protocol for most structure calculations with the automated NOE assignment method ARIA discussed in the next section. 

Standard calculation methods developed for small proteins are sufficiently powerful to solve protein structures and complexes in the 30 kDa range and beyond [97,98] and protein-nucleic acid complexes [99]. Torsion angle dynamics offers increased conver-... 

Computer simulations of electron transfer proteins often entail a variety of calculation techniques electronic structure calculations, molecular mechanics, and electrostatic calculations. In this section, general considerations for calculations of metalloproteins are outlined in subsequent sections, details for studying specific redox properties are given. Quantum chemistry electronic structure calculations of the redox site are important in the calculation of the energetics of the redox site and in obtaining parameters and are discussed in Sections III.A and III.B. Both molecular mechanics and electrostatic calculations of the protein are important in understanding the outer shell energetics and are discussed in Section III.C, with a focus on molecular mechanics.
