Abstract To interpret and transmit biological signals, proteins use correlated motions. Experimental determination of these dynamics and the structural distributions they generate remains a key challenge. Here, using 1146 crystal structures of the main protease (Mpro) from SARS-CoV-2, we were able to infer a model of the enzyme’s structural fluctuations. Mpro is regulated by concentration, becoming enzymatically active after forming a homodimer.
