title: Stochastic description of protein conformational motion.
abstract: Green function analysis of the Fokker-Planck equation was used to describe protein conformational motion for approximate variational derivation of typical rate constant of protein relaxation from excited nonequilibrium state to the equilibrium. This approach was illustrated on a simple one-dimensional conformational potential.
