title: Universal behavior of localization of residue fluctuations in globular proteins.
abstract: Localization properties of residue fluctuations in globular proteins are studied theoretically by using a Gaussian network model. Participation ratio for each residue fluctuation mode is calculated. It is found that the relationship between participation ratio and frequency is similar for all globular proteins, indicating a universal behavior in spite of their different size, shape, and architecture.
