Abstract excerpt
Small molecules such as molecular oxygen, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide play important roles in life, and many proteins require the transport of small molecules to and from the bulk solvent for their function. Ligand migration within a protein molecule is expected to be closely related to the overall structural changes of the protein, but the detailed and quantitative connection remains elusive. For example,...
