To study nanostructures in real environments, Berkeley Lab scientists have combined theoretical and experimental approaches to glimpse into a protein`s interaction with simple salts in water. Enabled by x-ray absorption simulation software developed at Berkeley Lab`s Molecular Foundry, these findings shed new light on how salts impact protein structure at the atomic level.
