Proteins typically undergo conformational dynamics on the microsecond to millisecond timescale as they perform their function, which is much faster than the time-resolution of cryo-electron microscopy and has thus prevented real-time…
Structural colors are produced by wavelength-dependent scattering of light from nanostructures. While living organisms often exploit phase separation to directly assemble structurally colored materials from macromolecules, synthetic…
While proteins have been treated as particles with a spherically symmetric interaction, of course in reality the situation is rather more complex. A simple step towards higher complexity is to treat the proteins as non--spherical particles…
