Molecular Movements Database Help and Information Page

The Molecular Movements Database lists motions in proteins and other macromolecules. It is arranged around a multi-level classification scheme and includes motions of loops, domains, and subunits. The HingeMaster server predicts hinges in single protein structures using the FlexOracle, hNMb, TLSMD, StoneHinge, and other algorithms.
