Notes:
An analysis is carried out of differences in the minimum energy conformations obtained in the previous paper by energy minimization starting from conformations sampled by a Monte Carlo simulation of conformational fluctuations in the native state of a globular protein, bovine pancreatictrypsin inhibitor. Main conformational differences in each pair of energy minima are found usually localized in several side chains and in a few localmain chain segments. Such side chains and local main chain segments are found to take a few distinct local conformations in the minimum energy conformations. Energy minimum conformations can thus be described in terms of combinations of these multiple local conformations.
