PDBe Quips: transformer proteins - the science, not the fiction.
The bacterial transcription factor RfaH has been shown to undergo
extreme conformational transformation. It is able to switch between two
completely different secondary and tertiary structures, each with a
specific physiological function.
You can explore this remarkable transformer protein in our latest
interactive Quips article:
