Tryptophan-cysteine distance distributions obtained as skewed Gaussians, where p(r) ∝ r2exp[−(r-B)2/A2], and from the CBX model are extracted minimizing the sum of squared differences calculated through Eq. 5 between the measured and the computed values of kR and 〈E〉. Intrachain diffusion coefficients D are extracted from the Eq. 6 using the selected p(r) and the measured ηkD+. For each distance distribution simulated with the CBX model the table reports the value of the hard sphere diameter dα, the percental errors ΔkR and ΔE between measured and computed values of kR and 〈E〉 respectively, the computed rms tryptophan-cysteine distance and the average chain correlation length, nS, in units of number of orientationally correlated residues (see Materials and Methods).
