Symmetry Breaking under Vectorial Perturbations in Macromolecular X-ray Crystallography
Proteins are molecular machines whose dynamics govern their function. Using time-resolved crystallography, the basis of protein mechanics can be uncovered by physical perturbation on protein crystals. Perturbations are often vector fields that, in crystals, break symmetry. Lacking existing tools for analyzing symmetry breaking, we built open-source software to do so. We applied this method to…
