“…One of these descriptions, flexible-meccano (Figure ), , follows these sampling procedures, combined with simple volume exclusion (amino acid-specific hard-spheres placed on the Cβ), to construct statistical ensembles of conformers of unfolded or partially folded proteins, and is used throughout this Review to illustrate expected features of NMR parameters measured in IDPs. Statistical coil descriptions have been developed in this way by a number of different groups, with notably similar potentials covering accessible Ramachandran space (Figure ), ,− divided into four regions αR, αL, βS, and βP. The populations of these regions will be discussed throughout this Review.…”
