torsion angle dynamicsStructures are based on a total of 705 constraints, 679 are meaningful nOe derived constraints (642 unambiguous, 37 ambiguous), 16 are dihedral (phi) angle constraints and 10 are hydrogen bonds. The four disulfide bridges (CYS 6-27, 12-32, 16-34, 22-37) were included in the topology file used for the calculations.VNMR

Additional NMR Experimental Information
DetailsDisulfide bridges were determined by NMR and by N-terminal sequencing of proteolysis peptides. Distance constraints were derived from initial nOe build up rates using 2D NOESY experiments with mixing times of 70, 100, 150, 200 and 250 ms in H2O and D2O.
