Protein Loop Dynamics Are Complex and Depend on the Motions of the Whole Protein

Protein Loop Dynamics Are Complex and Depend on the Motions of the Whole Protein

We investigate the relationship between the motions of the same peptide loop segment incorporated within a protein structure and motions of free or end-constrained peptides. As a reference point we also compare against alanine chains having the same length as the loop. Both the analysis of atomic mo...
