A thermodynamic framework for mapping elastic recoil mechanism across the human proteome

Rhea Desai, David Pople, Shreya Jain, Atharwa Musale, Ifrah Sajjad, Richard J. Wittebort, Ronald L. Koder, Vikas Nanda

The paper develops a thermodynamic framework to classify elastic proteins by recoil mechanism using sequence-derived entropy estimates and identifies new candidates in the human proteome.
