The realization that many of the important biochemical phenomena occur in the micro- to millisecond timescale has resulted in the need for computational methods that would extend beyond the nanosecond regime that is currently accessible with explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations. The normal mode analysis method, initially developed in solid-phase physics, met that need by enabling the exploration of large scale collective motions that occur in systems ranging from small proteins and nucleic acids to the bacterial ribosome. This method requires the derivation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues through the diagonalization of the Hessian matrix, which is composed of mass-weighed second derivatives of the potential energy function. The . . . [Full Text of this Article]
