Two for the price of one: Single-molecule microscopy simultaneously monitors protein structure and function

(Phys.org) —Proteins accomplish something rather amazing: A protein can have many functions, with a given function being determined by the way they fold into a specific three-dimensional geometry, or conformations. Moreover, ...
