In Chapter 5 we proceed to use the domain boundaries to predict their motion. We found<br />

that we could not accelerate domain motions by applying distributed forces. Since<br />

proteins are only marginally stable, these forces invariably caused sufficient shear to<br />

rearrange the network of contacts, leading to deformation of the domain. Instead we<br />

applied various rigid body rotations to one of the domains, using Molecular Dynamics to<br />

anneal the residual strain.<br />
