The database ProMode-Oligomer (http://promode.socs.waseda.ac.jp/promode_oligomer) was constructed by collecting normal-mode-analysis (NMA) results for oligomeric proteins including protein-protein complexes. As in the ProMode database developed earlier for monomers and individual subunits of oligomers (Bioinformatics vol. 20, pp. 2035–2043, 2004), NMA was performed for a full-atom system using dihedral angles as independent variables, and we released the results (fluctuations of atoms, fluctuations of dihedral angles, correlations between atomic fluctuations, etc.). The vibrating oligomer is visualized by animation in an interactive molecular viewer for each of the 20 lowest-frequency normal modes. In addition, displacement vectors of constituent atoms for each normal mode were decomposed into two characteristic motions in individual subunits, i.e., internal and external (deformation and rigid-body movements of the individual subunits, respectively), and then the mutual movements of the subunits and the movement of atoms around the interface regions were investigated. These results released in ProMode-Oligomer are useful for characterizing oligomeric proteins from a dynamic point of view. The analyses are illustrated with immunoglobulin light- and heavy-chain variable domains bound to lysozyme and to a 12-residue peptide.

We have obtained the Raman spectra of TiCl n (n= 2, 3, and 4). Assignments of the observed Raman bands were made by a normal mode analysis. The force constants were determined from the observed Raman band frequencies. We have found that the Ti-Cl stretching force constant increases as the oxidation number of the Ti species increases.

The classical phenomenon of electron plasma oscillations has been investigated from new aspects. The applicability of standard normal-mode analysis of plasma perturbations has been judged from comparisons with exact numerical solutions to the linearized initial-value problem. We consider both Maxwellian and non-Maxwellian velocity distributions. Emphasis is on perturbations for which αλD is of order unity, where α is the wavenumber and λD the Debye distance. The corresponding large-Debye-distance (LDD) damping is found to substantially dominate over Landau damping. This limits the applicability of normal-mode analysis of non-Maxwellian distributions. The physics of LDD damping and its close connection to large-Larmor-radius (LLR) damping is discussed. A major discovery concerns perturbations of plasmas with non-Maxwellian, bump-in-tail, velocity distribution functions f0(ω). For sufficiently large αλD (of order unity) the plasma responds by damping perturbations that are initially unstable in the Landau sense, i.e. with phase velocities initially in the interval where df0/dw > 0. It is found that the plasma responds through shifting the phase velocity above the upper velocity limit of this interval. This is shown to be due to a resonance with the drifting electrons of the bump, and explains the Penrose criterion.
