Fluctuations: comparison with experiments
Comparison
of theoretically (curves labeled GNM and ANM) calculated B-factors
with those measured with x-ray crystallography (labeled EXP) for (a)
HA1 and (b) HA2 residues in the neutral pH trimeric structure (Weiss
et al., 1990b). The insets display the correlation between theoretical
and experimental data.
Three
monomers exhibit practically the same fluctuation behavior in
experiments; and their almost indistinguishable behavior is confirmed
by the theoretical calculations.
