Determinants of neuroglobin plasticity highlighted by joint coarse-grained simulations and high pressure crystallography

Abstract Investigating the effect of pressure sheds light on the dynamics and plasticity of proteins, intrinsically correlated to functional efficiency. Here we detail the structural response to pressure of neuroglobin (Ngb), a hexacoordinate globin likely to be involved in neuroprotection. In murin...
