NAME

The NAME attribute allows you to mark certain points of a document as places that can be jumped to directly. This is done using the form <A NAME="label">...</A> where label is any text you choose. The format of the Link tag now becomes:


  <A HREF="http://www.presidents.com/names.htm#clinton">Clinton</A>

  or 

  <A HREF="#clinton">Clinton</A>

with the linked file (www.presidents.com/names.htm) having the following format:

   <A NAME="clinton">Clinton, Bill</A> is the president of the US.

This enables you to build an index at the top of a long document and jump to linked text within it. For example, try jumping to the end of this document.

Start of very boring document

In Stage 1 we generate alpha-helices with good stereochemistry and good van der Waals interactions. However, we neglect electrostatic interactions in this first stage. Also, during Stage 1, the C-alpha atoms remain fixed throughout to serve as a template on which helix generation could occur. Stage 2 will address both these points. Stage 2 involves a brief cooling of 4 ps from 500 to 300K during which the C-alpha atoms are gradually freed from initial restraints. During this phase we switch on the electrostatic energy term. Electrostatic interactions between polar and charged sidechains are gradually introduced by scaling the partial atomic charges of sidechain atoms. Then we perform a short (5 ps) constant temperature (300 K) MD refinement with the C-alpha atoms free from restraints. Repeat runs of Stage 2 with structures generated from Stage 1 produces a final ensemble of structures. During Stage 2 we apply a number of distance restraints to the structure. Biharmonic distance restraints are applied between the carbonyl oxygen of residue i and the amide hydrogen of residue i+4 . The target distance for these restraints are derived from analysis of hydrogen bonding distances in protein alpha-helices. Additionally, when generating alpha-helix bundles we applied inter-helix distance restraints. These latter restraints had a one-sided harmonic function such that the energy penalty was only active if the inter-helix distance exceeded 11.5 Angstroms. Thus close packing of helices was not prevented by these restraints.


At last, the end is in sight
