“…Alpha-helices and b-sheets are generally believed to be stable structural units after they have formed in folded proteins~Pauling, 1960; Schulz & Schirmer, 1979;Creighton, 1993!. Recent analyses using high-speed computer simulations and using a variety of experimental approaches suggest that protein structures are dynamic and they can undergo structural changes to accommodate their biological function~Boutonnet et al, 1995;Cao et al, 1998;Kurzynski, 1998;Reddy et al, 1998;Yon et al, 1998!. These include receptor-ligand interactions, enzyme catalysis and protein interactions with other molecules, including other proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, cofactors, metal ions, neurotransmitters, and other substrates~Colson et al, 1998;Haouz et al, 1998;Rigney et al, 1998!.…”
