ANM Results for HK97
We applied ANM to the
full prohead II capsid (107520 residues) using a
coarse-graining scheme
where every 6th residue is retained. The resulting network
contained 17920 nodes from which we investigated the potential global
(slow) motions of the prohead II maturation process.
Movies
(animated gifs) for the slowest, global modes are linked below (degenerate modes are listed on
the same line).
In all of these modes one can observe the tendency for the prohead
structure to expand from its roughly spherical shape to the icosahedral
shape adopted in the mature (head II) stage.
