Abstract
Dynamic motions in biological systems are thought to play a very important role in determining their functionality and material properties [1]. Both theoretical and experimental methods of studying kinetics and molecular dynamics have become valuable tools for understanding biomolecular function [2]. The fundamental fluctuations in both main-chain and side-chain positions provide a wealth of detail into structures and mechanisms responsible for the various functional roles that proteins play.
