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)
“The best way to teach a child restraint and generosity is to be a model of those qualities yourself. If your child sees that you want a particular item but refrain from buying it, either because it isn’t practical or because you can’t afford it, he will begin to understand restraint. Likewise, if you donate books or clothing to charity, take him with you to distribute the items to teach him about generosity.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Don’t confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.”
—Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)
