Dynamic properties of oligomers that characterize low-frequency normal modes
Dynamics of oligomeric proteins were studied by elastic network model-based normal mode analysis to characterize their large-scale concerted motions. (1) The rigid-body motions of individual subunits were characterized by the radial, tangential, and axial components in a cylindrical coordinate system. (2) The motions of atoms on the inter-subunit interfaces were characterized by the opposing motions of intra-subunit deformation and rigid-body motion of the subunit. (3) A dynamic protein structure network was defined in each mode, and the centrality measure, betweenness, was calculated for each residue. The results indicate that the residues with high betweenness play an important role in oligomer dynamics.
