[Prediction of Protein Conformational Mobility and Evaluation of Its Reliability Using Small-Angle X-ray Scattering].

The "coarse-grained" model of protein conformational mobility is presented. We compared the trajectories of conformational motions predicted for five proteins using this model with the motion obtained by the method of the "nearest neighbor", based on small-angle X-ray scattering data. It is shown that for all studied proteins the sequence of conformations calculated on the basis of "coarse-grained" model and on the basis of the "nearest neighbor", coincides well, although there are exceptions. Some separate consideration should be given to each protein to discern the causes of these exceptions.
