Understanding how enzymes work: the journey to ensemble–function studies

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
For decades, structure–function has dominated biochemistry. Structures are highly valuable, yet more is needed to achieve a quantitative understanding of biomolecular function, because function emerges from an ensemble of states, rather than a static structure. We describe an ensemble–function framework applied to quantitatively dissect serine protease
