A discriminatory function based on a statistical analysis of atomic contacts in protein structures is used for selecting side chain rotamers given a peptide main chain. The function allows us to rank different possible side chain conformations on the basis of contacts between side chain atoms and atoms in the environment. We compare the differences in constructing side chain conformations using contacts with only the local main chain, using the entire main chain, and by building pairs of side chains simultaneously with local main chain information. Using only the local main chain allows us to construct side chains with approximately 75% of the chi1 angles within 30 degrees of the experimental value, and an average side chain atom r.m.s.d. of 1.72 A in a set of 10 proteins. The results of constructing side chains for the 10 proteins are compared with the results of other side chain building methods previously published. The comparison shows similar accuracies. An advantage of the present method is that it can be used to select a small number of likely side chain conformations for each residue, thus permitting limited combinatorial searches for building multiple protein side chains simultaneously.
