Abstract
The rapid fluctuations of protein atoms derived from molecular dynamics simulations can be extrapolated to longer-time motions by effective single-particle stochastic models. This is demonstrated by an analysis of velocity autocorrelation functions for the atoms of lysine side chains in the active site of RNase A. The atomic motions are described by a bounded stochastic model with the friction and noise parameters determined from a molecular dynamics simulation. The low-frequency relaxation behavior is shown to result from collisional damping rather than dephasing. Extrapolation of these results to the quasistochastic motion of the heme group in myoglobin provides an explanation of 57Fe Mossbauer spectroscopic data.
