Slowly pulling proteins apart reveals unexpected path to stability

Wednesday, August 10, 2016 - 08:31 in Biology & Nature

Researchers have taken a different approach to studying the conformations of larger proteins. By slowly pulling apart a protein called Protein S, they discovered a previously unknown stable conformation made possible by balancing charges between two domains. The results show some of the field's long-held ideas need to be revised.
