Structural Assembly and Refinement Strategy
Structural data is recorded in liquid crystalline lipid bilayers andtherefore it would inappropriate to refine the structure in theabsence of this environment. Therefore, refine with MD:
1) From the NMR restraints develop an initial structure - for the M2project this is a monomeric protein structure. PIPATH followed byNIH-Explor
2) Build a tetrameric initial structure using the initial monomer structureand inter-monomer distances - use NIH - Explor
3) Place tetramer in a pre-equilibrated bilayer with a properlyprotonated histidine tetrad.
4) Run restrained MD at constant pressure, temperature with zerosurface tension and a semi-isotropic boundary condition. Restraintson symmetry and torsion angles were imposed.
