A new algorithm to refine protein structures in solution from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data was developed based on restrained molecular dynamics (MD). In the method, the sum of squared differences between calculated and observed SAXS intensities was used as a constraint energy function, and the calculation was started from given atomic coordinates, such as those of the crystal. In order to reduce the contribution of the hydration effect to the deviation from the experimental (objective) curve during the dynamics, and purely as an estimate of the efficiency of the algorithm, the calculation was first performed assuming the SAXS curve corresponding to the crystal structure as the objective curve. Next, the calculation was carried out with `real' experimental data, which yielded a structure that satisfied the experimental SAXS curve well. The SAXS data for ribonuclease T1, a single-chain globular protein, were used for the calculation, along with its crystal structure. The results showed that the present algorithm was very effective in the refinement and adjustment of the initial structure so that it could satisfy the objective SAXS data.

The effect of the lanthanide shift reagents, Eu(fod)3 and Pr(fod)3, on the nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of some (η4-cyclopentadienone)(η- cyclopentadienyl)cobalt complexes has been investigated as an aid to structure determination in this series. The lanthanides complex with the lone pairs of the carbonyl group. Pseudocontact shifts are observed for hydrogens attached to each ring and for hydrogen atoms in substituents on the cyclopentadienone. With Eu(fod)3, contact shifts are also observed for the cyclopentadienone ring hydrogens.
