‘ Wiggling and jiggling ’ : new study helps explain how organisms can evolve to live at different temperatures

The brilliant physicist Richard Feynman famously said that, in principle, biology can be explained by understanding the wiggling and jiggling of atoms. For the first time, new research from the University of Bristol, UK and the University of Waikoto, New Zealand explains how this ‘ wiggling and jiggling ’ of the atoms in enzymes – the proteins that make biological reactions happen – is ‘ choreographed ’ to make them work at a particular temperature.
