Abstract

Normal modes of low-frequency vibrations are calculated for a small globular protein, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor. In modes with frequencies below 120 cm-1 the protein molecule behaves like a continuous elastic body. Most modes with frequencies above 50 cm-1 are shown to behave harmonically within the range of thermal fluctuations at room temperature. Those with frequencies below 50 cm-1 show some anharmonicity. Magnitudes of displacements of atoms are mainly determined by the modes with frequencies below 30 cm-1. These very-low-frequency modes contribute significantly to the entropy of the system. The dynamic structure of the globular protein is described as a superposition of harmonic high-frequency motions and coupled anharmonic low-frequency motions of collective variables corresponding to the normal modes of vibration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
