abstract：:The x-ray structure of rubredoxin has been refined by energy minimization. The computed structure is constrained to have standard bond lengths, bond angles, and planar trans peptide groups. Also, since most of the steric overlaps have been relieved, it has a very low energy. As judged by the root mean square (RMS) dev...
