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:
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.”
—James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
