Hi,

1. For those intrinsically disordered proteins, the sequence is known, how the 
simulations will be set up, I mean, the first PDB will be needed, how to get 
this one? (Ideally, not necessarily to be practical)

2. suppose I got a PDB, there were several models there, let's say 16, is it 
acceptable to just take one, say model 1?

Thanks for any answering,

That's a theoretical question which has no real "true" answer, given that there is no "true" structure for an IDP, but only an ensemble of structures.

I've seen different approaches, from using ROSETTA predictions to simply using random coil structures, to carefully picking ensembles from previous experimentally-restrained simulations. Pick up your favourite approach in the literature, also taking into account what you want to do.
