12.6.1 Five Residue Search

In this example, we search over the conformational space of residues 127 to 131 in flavodoxin. The search is done using backbone degrees of freedom over residue 127 and 128, with a chain closure over residues 129 to 131. We do searches to find both the minimum energy conformation and minimum RMS deviation to the X-ray crystal structure.

     Construction of helix segment 127-131 in flavodoxin.
     In this run, we find both the theoretical lower limit and the
     lowest energy conformations.
