Abstract excerpt
The electric field inside a protein has a significant effect on the protein structure, function, and dynamics. Recent experimental developments have offered a direct approach to measure the electric field by utilizing a nitrile-containing inhibitor as a probe that can deliver a unique vibration to the specific site of interest in the protein. The observed frequency shift of the nitrile stretching vibration...
