14. Structure calculations were performed using the computer program XPLOR version 3.1 and a hybrid distance geometry/simulated annealing protocol. Two independent calculations were performed in the presence and in the absence of metal. A total of 77 NOEs were assigned and classified as strong, medium, and weak corresponding to distance restraints of 1.9-2.7, 1.9-3.3, and 1.9-5.0 Å, respectively. Three dihedral angles constraints were used in the calculations. Both calculations converged in the same folding. No NOE violations greater than 0.35 Å or dihedral angle violations greater than 5° were found. The 10 lowest-energy structures were used for further analysis. See: Brunger, A. T.
