A Monte Carlo Protein Building method to construct the backbone and C b atomic coordinates from known C a coordinates is reported. The method selects values of dihedral angles from ranges established from a statistical analysis of the relationship between dihedral angles of the backbone and C a coor

Abstract
A procedure for the construction of complete protein structures from only αcarbon coordinates is described. This involves building the backbone by sequential addition of Pro, Gly, or Ala residues. This main chain structure is then refined using molecular dynamics. Side chains are constructed by sequential addition of atoms with intermediate molecular dynamics refinement. For α lytic protease (a structure that is mostly β sheet) a backbone root mean square deviation (RMSD) of 0.19 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.24 Å from the crystallographic coordinates are attained. For troponin C (67% β‐helix), where the coordinates are available only for the α‐carbons, a backbone RMSD of 0.41 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.68 Å are attained (fits kindly provided by Dr. Michael James and Natalie Strynadka). For flavodoxin a backbone RMSD of 0.49 Å and an overall RMSD of 1.64 Å were attained.

## Abstract Protein C~__α__~ coordinates are used to accurately reconstruct complete protein backbones and side‐chain directions. This work employs potentials of mean force to align semirigid peptide groups around the axes that connect successive C~__α__~ atoms. The algorithm works well for all res
In an attempt to promptly use the experimentally determined structures of proteins in modeling studies, we have developed the program ReconstCcl to generate the 3D coordinates of a-carbon atoms from a pair of stereographic figures. Calculations of the 3D coordinates were performed by estimating the
