Another active area of biophysical research concerns the study of the interactions involving charged, polar, and polarizable groups of atoms in proteins. This is important, because they are believed to be responsible for biomolecular recognition and assembly processes, as well as for fundamental biochemical processes such as electron and energy transfer. Recent advances in understanding electric field effects led to viewing proteins as dynamic assemblies that can control and reorganize their charge distribution. Since proteins are also dynamic systems undergoing constant fluctuations, the electric fields generated by a protein are also changing, and it has been proposed that this is how proteins adopt the conformations required for their biological function.
