Thanks Tsjerk

Can you plz tell me How do we really conclude that  an biologically
relevant motion or a simple relaxation
( i have followed this approach, i also carried out a elastic netwok
modelling based PCA and comapred the lowest mode obtained from EN-NMA with
my PC1- Is this a right approach??)

Thanks
