Abstract

Abstract

We consider the mesoscopic model of protein materials composed of protein crystals with given space group for understanding the mechanical properties of protein materials with respect to their structures. This preprint was accepted for publication at Journal of Computational Chemistry.

The preprint provides the summary and/or review of current state-of-art in coarse-grained modeling of protein structures for normal mode analysis. This review summarizes the quasiharmonic analysis, Go model, elastic network model, and recently suggested coarse-grained models for protein structures.
