hdANM: a new comprehensive dynamics model for protein hinges

Hinge motions are essential for many protein functions, and their dynamics are important to understand underlying biological mechanisms. The ways that these motions are represented by various computational methods differ significantly. By focusing on a specific class of motion, we have developed a new hinge-domain anisotropic network model (hdANM) that is based on the prior identification of flexible hinges and rigid domains in the protein...
