Vibrational Dynamics of Folded Proteins: Significance of Slow and Fast Motions in Relation to Function and Stability

Bahar, Ivet, Atilgan, Ali Rana, Demirel, Melik C., Erman, Burak·1998·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

A single-parameter harmonic Hamiltonian based on local packing density and contact topology is proposed for studying residue fluctuations in native proteins. The internal energy obeys an equipartition law, and free energy changes result from entropy fluctuations only. Frequency--wave-number maps show communication between residues involved in slow and fast modes. Fast modes are strongly localized, resulting from the geometric irregularity of the structure. Comparison with experiments shows that slow and fast modes are associated, respectively, with function and stability. Specifically, domain motions and folding cores of HIV-1 protease are accurately identified.

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.
