DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1072606
Abstract: Introduction: Dissecting the intricate networks of covalent and non-covalent interactions that stabilize complex protein structures is notoriously difficult and requires subtle atomic-level exchanges to precisely affect local chemical functionality. The function of the Orange Carotenoid… read more here.
