Time- and ensemble-average statistical mechanics of the Gaussian network model

Abstract We present analytical results for a set of time- and ensemble-averaged physical observables in the non-Hookean Gaussian network model (GNM)—a generalization Rouse to elastic networks with links that display certain degree extensional rotational stiffness. focus on coarse-grained may be interest analysis GNM context internal motions proteins mechanical frames contact heat bath. A C++ computer code is made available implements all results.
