Seeing, smelling, tasting, regulation of blood pressure – molecular switches are involved in all of these processes. The mechanism with which these proteins are switched off has been analysed by a research team. With the aid of infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and computer simulations, they described the process at the subatomic level.
