Coarse-grained normal mode analysis in structural biology.
The realization that experimentally observed functional motions of proteins can be predicted by coarse-grained normal mode analysis has renewed interest in applications to structural biology. Notable applications include the prediction of biologically relevant motions of proteins and supramolecular structures driven by their structure-encoded collective dynamics; the refinement of low-resolutio...
متن کاملCoarse grained normal mode analysis vs. refined Gaussian Network Model for protein residue-level structural fluctuations.
We investigate several approaches to coarse grained normal mode analysis on protein residual-level structural fluctuations by choosing different ways of representing the residues and the forces among them. Single-atom representations using the backbone atoms C(α), C, N, and C(β) are considered. Combinations of some of these atoms are also tested. The force constants between the representative a...

The realization that experimentally observed functional motions of proteins can be predicted by coarse-grained normal mode analysis (NMA) has renewed interest in applications to structural biology. Notable applications include the prediction of biologically relevant motions for proteins and supramolecular structures driven by their structure-encoded collective dynamics; the refinement of low-re...
متن کاملMechanical Characterization of Amyloid Fibrils Using Coarse-Grained Normal Mode Analysis
Recent experimental studies have shown that amyloid fibril formed by aggregation of β peptide exhibits excellent mechanical properties comparable to other protein materials such as actin filaments and microtubules. These excellent mechanical properties of amyloid fibrils are related to their functional role in disease expression. This indicates the necessity to understand how an amyloid fibril ...
متن کاملDiscretizing elastic chains for coarse-grained polymer models
Studying the statistical and dynamic behavior of semiflexible polymers under complex conditions generally requires discretizing the polymer into a sequence of beads for purposes of simulation. We present a novel approach for generating coarse-grained, discretized polymer models designed to reproduce the polymer statistics at intermediate to long lengths. Our versatile model allows for an arbitr...
