Popis: The summarized amalgam of internal relaxation modulations and external forces like pH, temperature, and solvent conditions determine the protein structure, stability, and function. In a free-energy landscape, although conformers are arranged in vertical hierarchy, there exist several adjacent parallel sets with conformers occupying equivalent energy cleft. Such conformational states are pre-requisites for the functioning of proteins that have oscillating environmental conditions. As these conformational changes have utterly small re-arrangements, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is unique in elucidating the structure-dynamics-stability-function relationships for such conformations.
