Different initial assignments of the velocities. 

Five-thousand structures were generated by randomizing the dihedral angles of the rotatable bonds, followed by 1,000 steps of energy minimization. Structures with one or more native contacts were discarded. The 40 structures with the most favorable energies were retained as starting conformations. Their average Cα rms deviation from the mean NMR model is 7.4 Å.
