We introduce a multiscale flexibility-rigidity index (mFRI) method to resolve this problem. The proposed mFRI utilizes two or three correlation kernels parametrized at different length scales to capture protein interactions at corresponding scales. It is about 20% more accurate than the Gaussian network model (GNM) in the B-factor prediction of a set of 364 proteins.
