Multi-scale characterisation of a ferroelectric polymer reveals the emergence of a morphological phase transition driven by temperature.

abstract：:Conformational dynamics plays an important role in enzyme catalysis, allosteric regulation of protein functions and assembly of macromolecular complexes. Despite these well-established roles, such information has yet to be exploited for drug design. Here we show by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy that inhibito...
