ABSTRACT

Due to their delocalized nature, low-frequency vibrational modes are strongly aected by the size and long-range order of the molecule. Small biological molecules such as nucleosides, amino acids, and sugars tend to have distinct, relatively isolated features (Bailey et al. 1997; Bandekar et al. 1983; Fischer et al. 2002;
