Random Heteropolymer RMSF Data for Single and Paired Conformations

Root-mean-square fluctuation (RMSF) data for random heteropolymer (RHP) backbones, averaged over 10 conformations. The dataset compares polymers individually in solution and as interacting pairs, with data broken down by interacting and non-interacting residues. It was authored by Shayna L. Hilburg and last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Compare conformational stability of single polymers versus polymer pairs based on RMSF values.
• Analyze the effect of inter-polymer interactions on backbone flexibility based on residue-level data.
• Validate molecular dynamics simulation methods for random heteropolymer systems.
• Investigate the relationship between polymer interaction sites and local structural fluctuations.

Strengths

• Data is derived from molecular dynamics simulations referenced in a peer-reviewed publication.
• Includes a direct comparison of single-polymer and paired-polymer systems.
• Residue-level breakdown is provided for interacting and non-interacting pairs.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
