Spontaneous symmetry breaking in a non-rigid molecule approach to intrinsically disordered proteins

Abstract

An analog to Longuet-Higgins' non-rigid molecular group theory arguments can be applied to the structure and reaction dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteinsvia a somewhat counterintuitive Morse Function treatment inspired by statistical mechanics, providing possible symmetry classifications of the molecular ‘fuzzy lock-and-key’.
