Scientists have made enormous advances in understanding the structures of proteins over the past several decades. Imaging technologies like cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallography help researchers visualize the shapes of proteins in unprecedented detail; however, these tools primarily produce static snapshots of molecules. To truly understand protein function, researchers need to see them in action. Scientists have made enormous advances in understanding the structures of proteins over the past several decades.
