Normal modes and phase transition of the protein chain based on the Hamiltonian formalism

We use the torsional angles of the protein chain as generalized coordinates in the canonical formalism, derive canonical equations of motion, and investigate the coordinate dependence of the kinetic energy expressed in terms of the canonical momenta. We use the formalism to compute the normal-freque...
