Protein NMR structure determination is one of the most extensively studied problems. Here, we adopt a novel method based on a matrix completion technique - the Riemannian approach - to rebuild the protein structure from the nuclear Overhauser effect distance restraints and the dihedral angle restraints. In comparison with the cyana method, the results generated via the Riemannian approach are more similar to the standard X-ray crystallographic structures as a result of the simple but powerful internal calculation processing function. In addition, our results demonstrate that the Riemannian approach has a comparable or even better performance than the cyana method on other structural assessment metrics, including the stereochemical quality and restraint violations. The Riemannian approach software is available at: https://github.com/xubiaopeng/Protein_Recon_MCRiemman.
