Abstract
The dynamics of a folded globular protein (bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) were studied by solving the equations of motion for the atoms with an empirical potential energy function. The results provide the magnitude, correlations and decay of fluctuations about the average structure. These suggest that the protein interior is fluid-like in that the local atom motions have a diffusional character.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
