CIC bioGUNE researcher contributes to the scientific magazine Investigación y Ciencia.

A scientific report by CIC bioGUNE researcher Oscar Millet dedicated to protein motion as studied by NMR spectroscopy has been published in the April's issue of the scientific journal Investigación y Ciencia.

Proteins are intrinsically flexible and their motion is often related to the cellular function of the biomolecule. A detailed characterisation of protein dynamics is often elusive and NMR is amongst the best techniques to undergo such studies. Latest advances in the field of NMR protein dynamics are discussed in the paper.

Investigación y Ciencia is the Spanish branch of the prestigious journal Scientific American. Established more than 150 years ago, it is devoted to the popularization of scientific knowledge. The journal's audience includes both scientists and members of general public with scientific interests.
