These studies have not only provided insights into the functional role of protein motions, but they offer opportunities to create stimulus-responsive enzymes. These enzymes can be engineered to respond to a number of external stimuli, including light, pH, and the presence of novel allosteric modulators.

Engineering and controlling enzyme structural dynamics offers opportunities to create stimulus-responsive enzymes.
The ability to engineer and control enzyme structural dynamics can provide new tools for biotechnology and medicine.
Enzyme internal motions are often important for function, including ligand binding, ligand dissociation, and preparation of the active site for catalysis.
Stimulus-responsive enzymes can be engineered to respond to light, pH, and novel allosteric modulators.
