Abstract excerpt
We investigate the correlation between soft vibrational modes and unfolding events in simulated force spectroscopy of proteins. Unfolding trajectories are obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of a Gō model of a monomer of a mutant of superoxide dismutase 1 protein containing all heavy atoms in the protein, and a normal mode analysis is performed based on the anisotropic network model. We show that a...
