The dynamical properties of significantly nonlinear molecular systems with conformational mobility are discussed. The peculiarities of the figurative point movements along the potential energy hypersnrfaces with a lot of saddle points are investigated. The methods of dynamical correlation functions of dihedral angles and calculation of free energy maps are developed. These correlation functions and free energy maps can characterize the dynamical properties of the nonlinear systems in detail. The dynamical properties of some oligopeptides are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
