Before revision:  Here we outline a general theory of protein that quantitatively links sequence, dynamics and function: The protein is a strongly-coupled amino acid network whose interactions and large-scale motions are captured by the mechanical propagator, also known as the Green function.
After revision:  Here we outline a general theory of protein , which relates sequence correlations to physical interactions and to the emergence of mechanical function. Our protein is modeled as a strongly-coupled amino acid network whose interactions and large-scale motions are captured by the mechanical propagator, also known as the Green function.
