Single protein molecular dynamics determined with ultra-high precision.
We have successfully observed dynamical Brownian motions in an individual protein molecule and other biological ones in real-time with one-hundredth the atomic-scale precision (picometer-scale precision) using X-rays of the super photon ring-8 (SPring-8).
