Protein Dynamics

Motion underlies all of the behaviors of proteins, from small active-site fluctuations that facilitate catalysis to larger structural changes underlying folding or the dynamics of binding, transport, and other biological functions. Protein dynamics span a multitude of sizes and time scales and are essential for all walks of life.
