Mechanical determinants of protein function and evolution

ORAL

Abstract

A common physical basis for the diverse biological functions of proteins is the emergence of collective patterns of forces and coordinated displacements of their amino acids. We will discuss a minimal model examining the effect of global motions and long-range interactions on protein functions that involve molecular information processing.
