Katie Receives Shirley Chan Travel Award for the 2016 American Physical Society March Meeting

The Division of Biological Physics has awarded Katherine Niessen a Shirley Chan travel award so she may present her talk on the changes in intramolecular dynamics with allosteric mutation and their relationship to the change in catalytic rate.  Congratulations Katie!

New Paper Published in Biophysical Reviews!

Our article, "Terahertz optical measurements of correlated motions with possible allosteric function," K.A. Niessen, Mengyang Xu and A.G. Markelz, Biophysical Reviews, 7, p 201-216 (2015). http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12551-015-0168-4 is now out. It includes several discussions on relating the terahertz spectra of proteins to the internal motions.  In particular we introduce the idea of decomposing the vast vibrational density of states into essential motions.
