I was wondering if using ambiguous restraints developed for NOE distances
would be appropriate for use in enforcing hydrophobic side chain
contacts. For example, I define two "atoms" in the MAP file as the heavy
atoms on a certain tryptophan and a certain valine side chain and enforce
an upper limit distance constraint of 5 Angstroms. Would this be
effective in maintaining the contact throughout MD simulation?
