New models help predict protein dynamic signatures

To the average person, knowing how a protein wiggles might not seem that exciting or pertinent, but then again, most people aren't fascinated by the natural movements and fluctuations of proteins and their functional properties. If, however, you were interested in designing new drugs, better understanding how diseases can be eradicated or enhancing biotechnology for industrial and therapeutic applications, you might be on the edge of your seat waiting to see what a new study on protein sequencing and crystallization has to offer.
