Hello everyone:
We are calculating the structure of a membrane peptide with two helices linked
with a loop with PISEMA data (chemical shift, dipolar coupling) with dihedral
angle? hydrogen bond restraints for the helical part, we also have some
distance restraints for atoms from both helices.
>From PISEMA experiment we expect to get models with the right tilt angle with

I'm wondering what are the factors that determine the tilt angle of the peptide
in XPLOR calculation.
Thanks.
