This work aims to analytically understand the impact of two diametric opposite environments on protein structure and dynamics and compared them to the most common solvent on earth: water. The first ...
Sfriso, Pedro (Date of defense: 2016-03-18)
Sequence, structure and dynamics are an indivisible tandem to understand protein function. Luckily, evolution imposed a hierarchical rational between that facilitates the analysis: dynamics are encoded ...
