Dynamic Cross-Correlation from Normal Modes Analysis

Usage

"dccm"(x, nmodes = NULL, ncore = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x
an object of class nma as obtained from function nma.
nmodes
numerical, number of modes to consider.
ncore
number of CPU cores used to do the calculation. ncore>1 requires package ‘parallel’ installed.

Description

Calculate the cross-correlation matrix from Normal Modes Analysis.

Details

This function calculates the cross-correlation matrix from Normal Modes Analysis (NMA) obtained from nma of a protein structure. It returns a matrix of residue-wise cross-correlations whose elements, Cij, may be displayed in a graphical representation frequently termed a dynamical cross-correlation map, or DCCM.

If Cij = 1 the fluctuations of residues i and j are completely correlated (same period and same phase), if Cij = -1 the fluctuations of residues i and j are completely anticorrelated (same period and opposite phase), and if Cij = 0 the fluctuations of i and j are not correlated.

Value

Returns a cross-correlation matrix.
