Crystallography, NMR and Simulation Reveal Movement of Molecules within Crystals

X-ray crystallography reveals the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, thus making it possible to understand how it works and potentially use this knowledge to subsequently modulate its activity, especially for therapeutic or biotechnological purposes. For the first time, a study has shown that residual movements continue to animate proteins inside a crystal and that this movement "blurs" the structures obtained via crystallography.
