Analysis of primary protein sequences and tertiary structures has yielded important insights into the evolution of protein function, but little is known about the evolution of functional mechanisms and protein dynamics. An integrated approach including structural biology, mutagenesis, bioinformatics analyses and cell biology has now uncovered evolutionary aspects of the motions present in the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme family.
