Mathematical questions related to determining the structure of a protein from NMR orientational restraints are discussed. The protein segment is a kinked alpha helix modeled as a regular alpha helix in which two adjacent torsion angles have been varied from their ideal values. Varying these torsion angles breaks the helix into two regular helical segments joined at a kink. The problem is to find the torsion angles at the kink from the relationship of the helical segments to the direction of the magnetic field.
