ROTAMERICALLY INDUCED PERTURBATIONS

Version 1.0 - June 2009

The Rotamerically Induced Perturbation (RIP) method generates local perturbations that are capable of inducing several ångstroms of conformational change in picoseconds. It is particularly useful for identifying potentially mobile loops and helices in a protein structure.
