Extract

The understanding of flexibility and deformability in proteins is one of the current major challenges of structural molecular biology. The knowledge of the average atomic positions of three-dimensional folding of proteins, which is obtained either by X-ray diffraction or n.m.r. spectroscopy, is generally not sufficient to explain their functional mechanisms. Very often it is necessary to consider the existence of other concerted atomic motions as, for example, in the well-known case of the CO molecule fixation at the active site of myoglobin which requires the concerted displacement of a large number of atoms in order to open a channel down to this site. This opening, which depends on the physico-chemical conditions, plays the role of a regulator in the biochemical reactions (Janin & Wodak, 1983; Tainer et al. 1984; Westhof et al. 1984; Ormos et al. 1988).
