    Abstract

    We address the question how well proteins can be modelled on the basis of NMR data, when these data are incorporated into the protein model using distance restraints in a molecular dynamics simulation. We found, using HPr as a model protein, that distance restraining freezes the essential motion of proteins, as defined by Amadei et al. [Amadei, A., Linssen, A.B.M. and Berendsen, H.J.C. (1993) Protein Struct. Funct. Genet., 17, 412-425]. We discuss how modelling protocols can be improved in order to solve this problem.
