A simple and robust method for determining the relative orientations of covalently linked protein domains using conjoined rigid body/torsion angle dynamics simulated annealing on the basis of residual dipolar couplings is presented. In this approach each domain is treated as a rigid body and the relevant degrees of conformational freedom are restricted to the backbone torsion angles (phi, psi) of the linker between the domains. By this means translational information afforded by the presence of an intact linker is preserved. We illustrate this approach using the domain-swapped dimer of the HIV-inactivating protein cyanovirin-N as an example.
