A model of nine proteins including side-chain atoms have been built from the known C a coordinates and amino acid sequences using a Monte Carlo Protein Building Annealing method. The Cartesian coordinates for the side-chain atoms were established with bond lengths and angles selected randomly from w

✦ Synopsis
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 coordinates for a protein data base. The averaged coordinates from ten backbone models of a protein were used to define a mean structure that was refined by energy minimization using the AMBER force field (GB/SA). By the latter method the average atomic deviation and rmsd of the backbone and C b atoms for 24 proteins is between 0.14 and 0.32 A (average 0.22 A ˚) and 0.22 and 0.61 A ˚(average 0.43 A ˚), respectively. A comparison with other methods is made.

A method for generating a full backbone protein structure from the coordinates of ␣-carbons, is presented. The method extracts information from known protein structures to generate statistical positions for the reconstructed atoms. Tests on a set of proteins structures show the algorithm to be of co

An automatic procedure is proposed for reconstruction of a protein backbone from its C(alpha)-trace; it is based on optimization of a simplified energy function of a peptide backbone, given its alpha-carbon trace. The energy is expressed as a sum of the energies of interaction between backbone pepti
