Differential equation model to study dynamic behaviour of globular proteins.

P K Ponnuswamy, R Bhaskaran

    International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research
    |August 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new model treats globular proteins as uniform density spheres to study their fluctuations. This approach was validated against dynamic simulations and temperature factor studies for specific proteins.
