Thank you very much for the reply.
Since there is no crystal structure available, I started with a docked
structure and that structure is very much seemed to satisfying nmr
structure (position of ligand almost to a position which satisfies the NOE
distance). Can you give a suggestion of how much distance penalty can be
taken for a valid structure?
Regards,
Maya
