1AEY - PubMed Abstract: 
The assignment of the 1H and 15N nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the Src-homology region 3 domain of chicken brain alpha-spectrin has been obtained. A set of solution structures has been determined from distance and dihedral angle restraints, which provide a reasonable representation of the protein structure in solution, as evaluated by a principal component analysis of the global pairwise root-mean-square deviation (rmsd) in a large set of structures consisting of the refined and unrefined solution structures and the crystal structure. The solution structure is well defined, with a lower degree of convergence between the structures in the loop regions than in the secondary structure elements. The average pairwise rmsd between the 15 refined solution structures is 0.71 +/- 0.13 A for the backbone atoms and 1.43 +/- 0.14 A for all heavy atoms. The solution structure is basically the same as the crystal structure. The average rmsd between the 15 refined solution structures and the crystal structure is 0.76 A for the backbone atoms and 1.45 +/- 0.09 A for all heavy atoms. There are, however, small differences probably caused by intermolecular contacts in the crystal structure.
