Epigenetic alterations regulate estradiol-induced enhancement of memory consolidation.

abstract：:Large-scale conformational changes in proteins are often associated with the binding of a substrate. Because conformational changes may be related to the function of an enzyme, understanding the kinetics and energetics of these motions is very important. We have delineated the atomically detailed conformational transi...
