Abstract

Structure of a protein intermediate The function of a protein depends critically on structural dynamics, and on the nature of the transient conformation intermediates that the molecule can adopt. These transients can be elusive and therefore hard to characterize. This paper reports the use of a combination of relaxation-dispersion nuclear magnetic resonance with Rosetta computational structure predictions to design T4 lysozyme mutations that stabilize 'excited' states that are normally too transient to be observed.
