Proteins need to 'dance' to function properly - The Science Board

Proteins need to wobble, shake, and quiver to function properly, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found. The discovery may help scientists design new drugs that can modify or disrupt the “dances” of proteins to alter their functions.

It's well known that proteins wiggle and move but how important is that function? It turns out the answer is very important. The way proteins engage with the right partner at the right time is crucia… [+1782 chars]
