Interpreting correlated motions using normal mode analysis.
With the increased popularity of normal mode analyses in structural biology, it is important to carefully consider how to best utilize the results for gaining biological insights without over interpretation. The discussion in this article argues that for the purpose of identifying correlated motions in biomolecules, a case separate from concomitant conformational changes of structural motifs, i...
متن کاملInstantaneous normal mode analysis of correlated cluster motions in hydrogen bonded liquids
We analyze the correlated motions of hydrogen bonded clusters in liquid hydrogen fluoride, methanol, and water using the Instantaneous Normal Mode approach. In the case of hydrogen fluoride and methanol, which form a topologically linear hydrogen bond network, the relevant cluster is a triplet formed by a molecule and its two neighbors. In the case of water, whose hydrogen bond structure has a ...
متن کاملAnalysis of domain motions by approximate normal mode calculations.
The identification of dynamical domains in proteins and the description of the low-frequency domain motions are one of the important applications of numerical simulation techniques. The application of these techniques to large proteins requires a substantial computational effort and therefore cannot be performed routinely, if at all. This article shows how physically motivated approximations pe...
متن کاملNormal Mode Analysis of Trp RNA Binding Attenuation Protein: Structure and Collective Motions
The Trp RNA-binding protein (TRAP) has a toroidal topology and a perfect 11-fold symmetry, which makes it an excellent candidate for a vibrational study of elastic properties. Normal mode analysis in combination with correlation matrix calculations was used to detect collective low-frequency motions in TRAP. The results reveal the presence of highly correlated modes at the lower end of the spec...
متن کاملNormalizing normal mode analysis.
Few would disagree, but a generation later, the statement remains a prophecy rather than fact. Although 41,000 protein structures are known, there are none for which there is a complete description of the dynamics that is often key to understanding functional mechanism. Despite keen interest in protein dynamics, studies have remained the purview of computer simulation while the challenges of ex...
