Native flexibility of structurally homologous proteins: insights from anisotropic network model.

Published in: BMC biophysics (2017)
The topology of interatomic contacts in the folded states of proteins essentially determines the native flexibility. The mechanical differences of topologically similar proteins are captured from a high-resolution (atomic level) ANM at a low computational cost. The relative trend in flexibility of such proteins is reflected in their stability differences that they exhibit while unfolding in atomic force microscopic (AFM) experiments.
