title: Modeling large-scale dynamics of proteins.
abstract: We study a dynamical model for the large-scale motions of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor in vacuum. The model is obtained by projecting Newton equations onto some set of anharmonic modes. We compare the statistics of the so-obtained trajectories with those obtained by standard techniques, and conclude that our dynamical model is able to reproduce fairly well the average properties of the large-scale motions of this protein. Moreover, it allows for time steps one order of magnitude larger than the standard ones.
