【Significance】
NMA for a full-atom model with a smaller number of degrees of freedom

The number of degrees of freedom in normal mode analysis calculations of protein is a crucial problem in a huge system. We examined two models in which the number of variables was reduced. They both adopted a full-atom model with dihedral angles as independent variables. The numbers of variables of the two models were two and one per residue, respectively. The fluctuation profiles and the motions of the atoms in the individual lowest-frequency normal modes were well reproduced, implying that they can predict large-amplitude concerted motions of the huge protein systems.
