Concoord 2.1.2

:: DESCRIPTION

CONCOORD is a method to generate protein conformations around a known structure based on geometric restrictions. Principal component analyses of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of proteins have indicated that collective degrees of freedom dominate protein conformational fluctuations. These large-scale collective motions have been shown essential to protein function in a number of cases. The notion that internal constraints and other configurational barriers restrict protein dynamics to a limited number of collective degrees of freedom has led to the design of the CONCOORD method to predict these modes without doing explicit, more CPU intensive, MD simulations.
