Cutting out a short part of a protein can lead to strong movements at a distant functional site. This provides a clear example of how the network of interactions inside of a protein can give rise to long-range communication. The discovery, made by an international team of researchers, is published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
