ElNémo: a normal mode web server for protein movement analysis and the generation of templates for molecular replacement
Normal mode analysis (NMA) is a powerful tool for predicting the possible movements of a given macromolecule. It has been shown recently that half of the known protein movements can be modelled by using at most two low-frequency normal modes. Applications of NMA cover wide areas of structural biology, such as the study of protein conformational changes upon ligand binding, membrane channel open...
متن کاملSymplectic Molecular Dynamics Integration Using Normal Mode Analysis
The split integration symplectic method (SISM) for molecular dynamics (MD) integration using normal mode analysis based on a factorization of the Liouville propagator is presented. This approach is quite distinct from others that use fractional-step methods, owing to the analytical treatment of high-frequency motions. The method involves splitting the total Hamiltonian of the system into a harm...
متن کاملDealing with structural variability in molecular replacement and crystallographic refinement through normal-mode analysis
Normal-mode analysis (NMA) can be used to generate multiple structural variants of a given template model, thereby increasing the chance of finding the molecular-replacement solution. Here, it is shown that it is also possible to directly refine the amplitudes of the normal modes against experimental data (X-ray or cryo-EM), generalizing rigid-body refinement methods by adding just a few additi...
متن کاملOn the potential of normal-mode analysis for solving difficult molecular-replacement problems.
Molecular replacement (MR) is the method of choice for X-ray crystallographic data phasing when structural data of suitable homologues are available. However, MR may fail even in cases of high sequence homology when conformational changes arising for example from ligand binding or different crystallogenic conditions come into play. In this work, the potential of normal-mode analysis as an exten...
متن کاملInterpreting correlated motions using normal mode analysis.
With the increased popularity of normal mode analyses in structural biology, it is important to carefully consider how to best utilize the results for gaining biological insights without over interpretation. The discussion in this article argues that for the purpose of identifying correlated motions in biomolecules, a case separate from concomitant conformational changes of structural motifs, i...
