One of critical difficulties of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in protein structure refinement is that the physics-based energy landscape lacks of middle-range funnel to guide non-native conformations towards near-native states. We propose to use the target model as probe to identify fragmental analogs from PDB. The distance maps are then used to re-shape the MD energy funnel. The protocol was tested on 181 benchmarking and 26 CASP targets. It was found that structure models of correct folds with TM-score>0.5 can be often pulled closer to native with higher GDT-HA score; but improvement for the models of incorrect folds (TM-score<0.5) are much less pronounced. These data indicate that template-based fragmental distance maps essentially re-shaped the MD energy landscape from golf-course-like to funnel-like ones in the successfully-refined targets with a radius of TM-score~0.5. These results demonstrate a new avenue to improve high-resolution structures by combining knowledge-based template information with physics-based MD simulations.
