Abstract excerpt
Domain swapping is a process where two (or more) protein molecules form a dimer (or higher oligomer) by exchanging an identical domain. In this article, based on the observation that domains are rigid and hinge loops are highly flexible, we propose a new Elastic Network Model, domain-ENM, for domain-swapped proteins. In this model, the rigidity of domains is taken into account by using a larger spring constant...
