Can we read a pdb structure and extract restrains from the pdb?
Is there a way by which we can convert pdb structures to restrain and
then sample/construct structures back from just the restrains produced?
A PDB file doesn't contain any restraints - just coordinates. But you
could certainly measure whatever kind of structural feature you like
(for example, a CA-CA distance) and create a restraint using that
measurement as the mean (it's up to you to determine the force constant
though).
