Coupling Advanced Neutron Scattering with High-Performance Computing Could Enable Better Understanding of Protein Function

The Science
Whether inside algae converting biomass to fuels or human cells responding to radiation exposure, proteins change their shape via atomic motions to perform a specific function. Today these shape-changing processes are still difficult to measure and understand. Scientists recently determined three classes of atomic motion using neutron scattering coupled with computational simulations.
