  "summary": "Allosteric communication in biomacromolecules is fundamentally governed by thermal fluctuation gradients, yet standard Gaussian Network Models (GNMs) treat atomic contacts as uniform, binary couplings without differentiating core constraints from solvent-exposed surface flexibility. Here, we present an analytical matrix framework that incorporates continuous distance-dependent weighting into the…",
