? There were a total of 1016 distance restraints (including 48 hydrogen bond distance restraints) and 167 torsion restraints used to determine this structure. The molecular modeling of the phi21 N peptide-boxB RNA complex was done in three steps. First, a complete intramolecular restraint set was generated for each molecule, and then peptide and RNA structures were generated separately using ab initio simulated annealing (SA) starting from a random extended structure in CNSsolve. For both the peptide and the RNA, constrained (torsion) dynamics was used at 50000K. A total of 100 structures each of the peptide and RNA were generated. In the second step, each of the 20 lowest energy peptide and 20 lowest energy RNA structures were combined in single PDB files, in all 400 possible combinations. The RNA was held at the origin and the peptide was randomly rotated and moved 100 angstroms away in a random direction from the origin. These 400 possible "complexes" were docked using CNSsolve. The objective of the docking was to bring the peptide and RNA together without dramatically perturbing their folded structures from the first round of SA, so the temperatures for the docking were set much lower than in the initial calculations (1000 vs. 50000K). Finally, the 100 lowest energy docked structures were minimized by two rounds of low temperature annealing using Sander, a module of AMBER. As with the docking, the temperature was kept low (1000K). The 14 lowest energy structures were used for generating an average structure, which was energy minimized using a conjugate gradient. 1
