Gaussian Network Model Theory
The Gaussian network model was first proposed in 1996 by Tirion at the atomic level and then one year later reconsidered at the amino-acid level by Bahar, Atilgan, Haliloglu and Erman. The model was influenced by work of PJ Flory on polymer networks and other works that utilized normal mode analysis and simplified harmonic potentials to study dynamics of proteins.

Famous quotes containing the words network, model and/or theory:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“One of the most important things we adults can do for young children is to model the kind of person we would like them to be.”
—Carol B. Hillman (20th century)
“Osteopath—One who argues that all human ills are caused by the pressure of hard bone upon soft tissue. The proof of his theory is to be found in the heads of those who believe it.”
