Popis: A search algorithm, called MEDUSA, is presented which allows the determination of multiple conformations of biomolecules in solution with exchange rate constants typically between 10(3) and 10(7) s-1 on the basis of experimental high-resolution NMR data. Multiples of structures are generated which are consistent as ensembles with NMR cross-relaxation rates (NOESY, ROESY), scalar J-coupling constants, and T1 rho measurements. The algorithm is applied to the cyclic decapeptide antamanide dissolved in chloroform. The characteristic radio-frequency field dependence of the T1 rho relaxation rates found for the NH protons of Val1 and Phe6 can be explained by a dynamical exchange between two structures.
