Low-frequency normal mode in DNA HhaI methyltransferase and motions of residues involved in the base flipping.

abstract：:Periodical cicadas are well known for their prime-numbered life cycles (17 and 13 years) and their mass periodical emergences. The origination and persistence of prime-numbered cycles are explained by the hybridization hypothesis on the basis of their lower likelihood of hybridization with other cycles. Recently, we s...
