Abstract

Protein and nucleic acids are the instruments by which chemical and physical processing takes place in living systems. The twenty amino acids and four nucleotides of which proteins and nucleic acids, respectively, are composed provide the range of chemical functionality necessary to carry out this processing. Through the structural arrangement and motional characteristics of chemically labile groups, these biopolymers control and conduct transport, chemical synthesis and degradation processes which are necessary for their functioning. Thus, the detailed investigation of motion, structure and reactivity of proteins and nucleic acids is the key to understanding biological systems at a molecular level, and presents a major challenge to biologists, chemists and physicists.
