Even if imprisoned inside a crystal, molecules can still move
Julich, Germany (SPX) Oct 08, 2015
X-ray crystallography reveals the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, thus making it possible to understand how it works and potentially use this knowledge to subsequently modulate its activity, especially for therapeutic or biotechnological purposes. For the first time, a study has shown that residual movements continue to animate proteins inside a crystal and that this movement "blurs" the structures obtained via crystallography. The study stresses that the more these residual movements a ... read more
