Proteins are molecular machines whose dynamics govern their function. Using time-resolved crystallography, the basis of protein mechanics can be uncovered by physical perturbation on protein crystals. Perturbations are often vector fields that, in crystals, break symmetry. Lacking existing tools for analyzing symmetry breaking, we built open-source software to do so. We applied this method to three time-resolved crystallography experiments and analyzed the effect of vectorial perturbations on macromolecular crystal structure. We demonstrate that our method can handle symmetry reduction in all 65 Sohncke space groups.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
