Abstract:Vibrational energy transfer (VET) is essential for protein function. It is responsible for the efficient dissipation of excess energy after enzymatic reactions and photochemical processes, and has been linked to pathways of allosteric signal transduction. While it is understood that VET occurs via the backbone as well as via non-covalent contacts, little is known about the competition of these two transport channels, which determines the pathways of VET. To tackle this problem, we equipped the β-hairpin fold o… Show more
