Distance geometry; Simulated annealingTwo-spin REDOR curves were simulated using a Fortran program. Three-spin REDOR curves for the C -F experiment were simulated using the SIMPSON program. The input distances and angles in the three-spin simulation were obtained from model building. The simulations assumed delta-function pulses for all pi pulses. Models that were potentially consistent with all the experimentally measured distances were created using MODELLER. In addition to the REDOR-based restraints, the input file included a restraint to preserve the intramolecular hydrogen bond ladder of each monomer, and a restraint to maintain monomer symmetry.SIMPSON

Additional NMR Experimental Information
DetailsSolid State NMR was performed at 400.49 MHz for 1H, 376.8 MHz for 19F, 100.72 MHz for 13C, and 40.58 MHz for 15N. The 15N{13C} and 13C{1H} REDOR experiments were carried out on a 1H/13C/15N triple resonance MAS probe. Spinning speeds were regulated to 3 Hz using a pneumatic control unit. 13C and 15N chemical shifts were referenced externally to the 13C signal of alpha-Gly at 176.4 ppm on the TMS scale and the 15N signal of N-acetyl-valine at 122 ppm, respectively. The 13C{19F} REDOR experiments, where the nucleus in the bracket is the unobserved dephasing spin, was conducted on a 4-mm magic-angle spinning (MAS) probe equipped with a Bruker HFX unit, which allows simultaneous tuning of 1H and 19F on the 1H channel.
