Hi,
Do you mean rotations of the dimers relative to an axis or each other after
re-imaging? I don't think there's a general answer in terms of biological
function- it's something that you probably have to make sense of in context
of the protein itself. I believe hemoglobin is a good example, where the
subunits undergo a slight rotation relative to a principal axis when moving
between T and R states.
I've dealt with tetramers that have the dimer subunits undergoing a slight
rotational shift over the course of the trajectory, but in my case, it's
also behaviour that can be correlated to the protein's transition between
an active and inactive state. My best suggestion would probably be to take
a look at the literature to see if there's anyone else who's done work on
the matter, or looking at the available structures.
Best,
Kenneth

Ask yourselves, all of you, what power would hell have if those imprisoned
here could not dream of heaven?
